Single Use Codes - repeated email request notifications

Anonymous

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

    I'm getting 10-15 emails per day with people trying to access my account as well, notably from China.

    Thanks for the link to see the almost daily attempts to get into my e-mail. What more can Microsoft do about this?
