    These unrequested Microsoft Authenticator prompts mean that someone or something is trying to sign in with the account, or that a previous prompt was delayed.

    Actions to take:

    1. Always tap Deny on any prompt that was not initiated.
    2. Do not approve any request unless actively signing in.
    3. Change the account password immediately from a trusted device and browser.
    4. Review and update security info (phone, email, alternate methods) in the account security settings and remove anything unfamiliar.
    5. If prompts continue after changing the password, contact Microsoft support for further investigation.

    As long as unrequested prompts are denied, the account remains protected because sign-in cannot complete without approval.
