I’ve been getting endless notifications of login attempts all day and night, every day for weeks and I’m sick and tired of it. Microsoft NO support offers generic worthless information and no way that actually solves the problem. There is no resource to contact for help.

Hi, I'm experiencing the same and I have a follow-up questions:

If I disable notifications and don't deny those requests, will that affect my account security?

Also, how do I contact support team (which email address) if I would like someone to check my account activity?

I'm really tired of denying those requests as there's one almost every hour.

Thank you.

Receiving numerous sign-in requests from the Microsoft Authenticator app can be concerning. This situation often arises when someone is attempting to access your account without authorization, or if your account is registered on multiple devices. Here are some steps you can take to address this issue:

Check Account Security: Ensure that your account is secure. Change your password and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) if you haven't already.
Review Active Sessions: Check if there are any active sessions or devices that you do not recognize. You can usually find this in the security settings of your account.
Disable Notifications Temporarily: If the requests are overwhelming, you can temporarily disable notifications from the Authenticator app until you resolve the issue.
Contact Support: If the problem persists, consider reaching out to your organization's IT support or Microsoft support for further assistance.

Additionally, starting in August 2023, anomalous sign-ins do not generate notifications, which can help reduce the number of requests you receive. You can approve such sign-ins directly from the Authenticator app if needed.
