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

Anonymous

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?

may i know some further details on this matter? as i am getting an attempted login from scammers everyday, and even an email a couple of hours ago from them with some attempt to get some money from me. If i use an alias, how does that work? will my old previous email be completely lost and all the contents and anything its attached to as well? or can it be recovered quickly at any point? tq.looking forward to ur reply.

@KE_86 same here in the past 48 hours I've had 42 attempted logins from all over the world.

Microsoft what is up with this? Why hasn't your AI picked up on this activity?

Is everyone asleep at Microsoft? This is insane, there should be some kind of TRIGGER on hotmail.com accounts for this many attempted logins!

Hi, I faced the same issue as well. In my recent login activity, there are many unsuccessful login attempts from all over the world since 1 month ago. Please help and advise what can I do to block them from hacking my email!
