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.

    I checked my login attempts and people are trying to login from India, China and Vietnam ip addresses. It might be a mass email id leak that people are trying to take advantage of. 

    It's frustrating to keep reading these but these attempts have all been unsuccessful.

    Same here. I got one yesterday and then another one just now. I wonder if someone is trying to do a mass hack?

    But isn't it odd that both LBell_217 and I receiving numerous password emails on the same day? and Neither of us are doing it.

    this has been happening to me for about a week now. At least 4 reset attempts a day.
