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.

    Hello LBell_217

    Those emails would be generated anytime <anyone> clicks on "Forgot Password?"

    There is no way to stop those messages since it would also prevent you from changing your password using the same option.

    What I would keep tabs on are any unexpected successful logins to your account since if you see that, means someone was successful in hacking your account.

    Check the recent sign-in activity for your Microsoft account

    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.
