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?

and this too very well could be the case.
Thats still; yet to be discovered. But everything that has occurred in my position over the past 36 hours is very very odd. Because at first I was shocked. then I became calmed after I began a chat with tech services. but then they said I needed another area. so placed upon hold. I ended that chat and began another. through tech services but a slightly different area of tech. same thing happened. then 3rd time, which was the charm. I no longer seek chat assistance in this issue. but when I arrive here, MS support I assume, is giving the same instructions to every response they offered. Jump through this hoop and over this hurdle. Seems like some kind of agenda is going on if you ask my honest opinion. and it all points right back to MS. very odd to say the least
Interesting. To what end?
Honestly, when I first seen the multitude of unsuccessful login attempts and almost absolutely every single day I was sort of star struck with an awkward amazement which made me dive deep into my alltime experiences with all of which I have encountered in this messed up online world and its forced me to draw a few conclusions that could seem valid. However after all of which has been presented to me to this particular point it seems the needle keeps pointing to the perpetrator is microsoft corporation its self. As odd as it may sound it appears to me they may be trying the ole sleight of hand
