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 been getting password reset about my Microsoft account for the pass week. When I check my account security I see several unsuccessful attempts that coming from Iran,Russia, etc. I added 2-step verification to my account to protect my account but still gets these email everyday.

    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
