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 have received 8 of those emails this week and several last week - I have not requested a password reset, and I am logged in successfully, although I rarely read my Outlook email.

    It's not from selecting Forgot Password. I'm logged in. I'm getting several of those messages a day for the past week.

    You must remember it’s not you that’s requesting the password change it’s either a spam or somebody else in the world that has your email address which I’m sure a lot of people do and a lot of sites do and they just keep keep keep on clicking forgot password and that’s why you keep getting that message to change your password
