Keep receiving a password reset email.

Hello

I have had the same problem for some weeks now. Every few days maybe. 

I found a solution for me thanks to another Web page and user who made a suggestion. 

I use Gmail as my second account where the MS password emails go to. 

I found with Gmail you can add aliases sort of. You can use the following:

If your email address is MikeSmith@gmail then you can add dots into the first part. E.g mike.smith@gmail or mi.ke.smith@gmail

You can also do mike.smith+randomword@gmail although MS doesn't accept the +as a valid email. You can actually send emails to it. 

You need to make sure you go into your Gmail email > settings > all settings > accounts and import > and add the desired email address in the 'Send email as' section. Leave the Alias button ticket when adding. 

I have now changed my backup email in my MS account. Just need to remember where I put the dots in case I actually need to use it!

I am getting these several times a day - from the info iit looks like they might be coming from China, Iran and Russia.

I am quite concerned that at some point they will succeed somehow and my essentials are exposed.

I have 2FA + Authenticator App + my gmail email as backup email.

What more can I do to ensure no one can get access to my precious content?

Please lock down my account so only UK based logins are possible (i can use NordVPN to get to my fixed IP if i do need to access elsewhere)

add me to this list, im getting at least 1 request daily to my gmail account.

+1,

and it is accelerating, it happens every hour now, logging in from Vietnam, South Africa, Malaysia, China, i am concerned they are using brute force. Can't Microsoft block this? it is clearly disrupting many of us!

That's because you've logged in. Theirs very little reason to hide your own information from you.

You could always turn the notifications off but that leaves you open to losing access to your accounts without great difficulty.
