I've had a huge increase of people trying to sign in to my email account the past few days. As in multiple attempts every hour, every day, from all of the world. I've had to change my password daily and I'm worried about my email getting hacked. Is there any extra security or anything else I can do other than the two factor authentication that can protect my email from being hacked. It's insane the amount of login attempts that are happening lately. Multiple attempts at the same time in different ends of the world. I've never had this happen before. Will it decrease eventually?

How do you set up a primary alias without messing with your email and how to disable signing from old primary alias? Thank you for the reply by the way.
How do you deny unauthorized global hacking attempts besides changing your password and putting two factor on which they have been able to get around in past successful hacking attempts?
Hi
Can i please talk to someone (a real person) from microsoft about my hotmail account as there have been multiple attemps to log in all unauthorised.
They know the locations are from China Russia, Indonesia, and elsewhere in the world and the attempts are usually unsuccessful put persistent. Why can’t I restrict global access?
Microsoft must know what vpn services are behind it. Either force them to disclose the source of those attempts or take steps to deny them further internet access.
