Hi, 

I have been receiving an email about resetting my Microsoft password so far today i received 6 messages with the code to reset. This email has not been open in awhile, however i do have it linked to my phone for easy accessibility to emails.  How do i get the emails to stop.

    Same. I received one this morning. Immediately checked the Security and login history. Just showed logins from where I'd been checking.

    See this is odd. Everyone else is saying they see login attempts, but i do not. I get the reset email but securty page shows no login attemps. 

    I'm in the same situation as you.

    Yea. Its like they dont bother trying to log in. Just hit forgot password, request the email and then try to guess the securty number so they can reset the password.

    or maybe they are using that app on your phone that will make you a code & hoping it will work. 

    Its just odd they dont even try to log in.

    I have the same problem. I received password reset notification few days ago.

    And the day before yesterday my password was changed which i was not aware until yesterday. However, I managed to reset the password and get control over my account I had some sensitive information like my ID copy in email attachment so i guess the hacker have my information now. 

    Now again today couple of hours ago i received the password reset code to my recovery email so seems the hacker is trying again.

    I've already activated 2 way authentication security and removed my recovery email, leaving the mobile phone number only.

    i don't know what else should i do or where can i report?

    P.S. my account was hacked before, long time ago, probably 10 years ago. 

    If anyone could give me some information would be good. Thanks
