    Hi please can you check my account as I believe it has been compromised.

    The password keeps trying to be changed - and attempts being made to sign in.

    Can you please investigate and advise me what needs to be done, to stop this happening.

    Many Thanks

    Thank you for your comment and I eas able to change the account to use Microsoft authentication. It seems to be affecting my Google services as well and I had also added microsoft authentication for verification. However I did notice that someone in England broke into my Google account which I again updated my password and linked it to Microsoft authentication Hopefully this will make it more secure. I have created an alias account and change all my logins to that email address but it is a long process and is taking quite a bit of time.
