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?

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.

Does anyone know why we won't be able to access the authenticator after July?
i have been having the same issue for 18 months plus. constant logins from different places worldwide!
i have enabled the 'make me change my password every 72 days' to be even more secure and always choose a secure password which i dont use for anything. just today i actually received an authenticator app alert for a sign in, assuming they somehow got the password?
how are they getting these passwords!
im grateful for this thread and have just added an alias (which i dont use for ANYTHING else) so we will see how long this helps for.
when are microsoft going to do something about this!
