Is this legit?

If so, what should I look for and do?

    I"ve had two recently.

    also went to the recent activity bit, and a lot of failed attempts from all over, but none from spain/madrid. hovering over "report the user" brings up habalina7@xxx****. both times were automatically marked as high importance, and with the sender being no-reply@microsoft.com

    I've had almost exactly this. Went to spam email folder. Changed my password but this doesn't show up on my recent activity.

    Was automatically suspicious because the email saying I changed my password went into my inbox. Never click on links or buttons in emails.

    I would try tp log in with your old password. if that works make sure your in email and change your password again I think the link want you to give them your password be very carefull.
