Why do I keep getting these messages in my email:

We received your request for a single-use code to use with your Microsoft account.

Your single-use code is: 123456 [I changed this]

If you didn't request this code, you can safely ignore this email. Someone else might have typed your email address by mistake.

Thanks,

The Microsoft account team

    It's getting ridiculous. It started a week or two ago, and I am now receiving many of these emails every day. Someone at Microsoft should look into this; it's obviously not just a one-off problem.

    Deb,

    How did you identify where the requests were coming from, I have had 10 today already?

    This is a daily thing for me sometimes multiple times a day very annoying. Russia, China, Brazil, US, and many other countries. Google needs to implement a block feature to block countries trying to access our email. I know they have the tech to see where our current location is vs where these sign on attempts are coming from give us access to block all countries/cities/IPS from activities page...
