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?

It is an issue; I use the second level of authentication and have Norton on all my devices. I have used both for years. It baffles me how they get access to my ID's! So far, my passwords have remained safe. We never had the issue of ID leaks until current times, it scares me they will eventually be doing the same with passwords too!
MFA = ?
Set up MFA and you'll get prompted if they find the correct password
Exactly this!!! Seems like Microsoft is doing little to nothing to keep our accounts safe!
Me too ! And the link says not you , secure your account, you click it and it says login was unsuccessful no need to secure your account... bs!!! How about they do simple things like lock the account after so many attempts!!!
