I have the MFA request on my phone one or twice a day which is not me trying to sign in. In detail view "Vietnam on iOS" I am not owning iOS devices and I am not in Vietnam. I did all the recommend security procedure that Microsoft help-sign recommend and yet it is still coming in. I myself working in IT for 20 years and I know enough that how to handle some of things but this is so clueless. The password has been change every time, log out all current device (revoke session). What is going on? Any help? since this is free account, there is no support from Microsoft but this. Any one experience on this and how to resolve? One good news is that there is no successful login was made.
