Single Use Codes - repeated email request notifications

Glad it's not just me and thanks for replying.. I got a standard response for MS:

Hi Alex,
 
Thanks for contacting Microsoft technical support about your issue. Helpful resources for you:
 
How to help keep your Microsoft account safe and secure - Microsoft Support
 5 ways to protect your Microsoft account | Microsoft Security Blog

I just went in and changed my password and it seems to have stopped for now. MS do not appear to want to investigate the source - if they did, perhaps they could find out who is requesting these codes under our name.

All rather worrying and disconcerting.

Hi. I have the same issue with multiple emails with a single-use code to use with my Microsoft account which I have not requested. Looking at my 'Recent Activity' page I can see dozens of unsuccessful log in attempts within the last month from multiple different countries. It's clear malicious actors are trying to hack into my account. What steps are Microsoft taking to stop this malicious activity? Thanks.

Why do I keep getting these emails:?

We've received your request for a single-use code to use with your Microsoft account.
Your single-use code is: XXXXX
If you didn't request this code, you can safely ignore this email. Someone else might have typed your email address by mistake.

Thanks,

Is someone trying to hack into my account?

Please advise......

Many thanks

Ridiculous indeed. Microsoft should have a way to block obviously fraudulent attempts to access our account. I have had 7 already this morning. Truly annoying!

As you all see, even this was posted under anseres.microsoft.com there are no microsoft replies.

the suggestions give:

• go to the Recent activity page. (for what? I already know there are login attempts from abroad).
• strengthen your account security (we already did that, this is redundant, since we already use single-use code. it is right there in the original)

all useless.

have received many of those, even with emails that have no ms accounts.

("We couldn't find an account with that username." once I entered the email address listed in that original email..)

Conclusion:

• Microsoft does not care
• pushes responsibility on the end user.

MS needs to block and close those accounts that are attacked.

Provide users with new replacement accounts, or have a one-use accounts (like those single-use credit card numbers)..

Of course, MS will not close the accounts, since they need you to serve you adds, sell goods, services, games.. through those.

what can be done:

• close those "attacked" accounts.
• do not use MS if you do not have to. (but we all have to.. (office, steam, even new windows).
• do create new accounts on regural basis for one-or-two years use. then dump and create a new one.

most likely your account t is in the email dumps: (check: https://haveibeenpwned.com/)

No need to complain (and ask for help) from MS.

No need to seek advise of independent advisors (they are here to provide MS vision of things).

No need to read my reply either.
