How can I stop all the unauthorized login attempts from around the world?

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?

    I have someone attempting to log into my account every couple of minutes and it has been going on for years with them never being successful. What can I do to stop it?

    Eh? Authenticator is related to your question of unauthorised attempts to access your accounts

    I don't think that has anything to do with my question, but thanks.

    You will still be able to use Authenticator after July. The Autofill feature is being discontinued in July, but everything else including the app will remain.

    Changes to Microsoft Authenticator autofill - Microsoft Support
