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.

Yup same here. Getting these since last week.
I am searching through my recent activities, but I only see my own sessions.
I also have been receiving emails from Outlook/hotmail all day to my GMAIL, providing me a password reset code. I never requested a password reset, nor did I forget my password. This is the 5th reset code I've received today from Outlook.
Frustrating trying to get a hold of someone from Support team.
I am getting these emails every few hours now, its tried to sync from Cameroon, Vietnam, China, United states so something is going on. Constant password reset codes.
same here, two e-mails so far, coming from the legit security e-mail address.... very frustrating
UPDATE: My fix was to create a gmail account with a complicated name that only I know. I then set this as the recovery password email address for both my primary and secondary hotmail accounts. Now when the hackers try to reset my password, they don't know how to autocomplete the recovery email address e.g., hty*****@gmail.com. So hopefully I will not get a blizzard of emails with a password reset code, and if I do, it is going to an email address that I don't regularly check so it will be less irritating. The only downside to this is that it is crucial that I do not lose the login details to this new gmail account, in case I am the one that needs to change my hotmail passwords!!!
Yeah i keep getting them too I've put in a request to delete my account, done with this.
