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 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?
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.
Ive just received a notification via the authenticator to confirm a sign in with a choice of 3 numbers. It wasn't me but yet again this is worrying that attempts are continuing now this 1 via the authenticator. I obviously denied it but 1st time i have had this happen. Come on Microsoft sort this out

YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD IMMEDIATELY!
If you're getting authenticator messages they must have your password!
Also use the alias method to change your email to a different one and set it so the old (current) email can't be used to log in. Your current email will still work when you've done that, just not to log in.
It's explained in this thread...
I dont have a password, I use the authenticator password less option
