Repeated hostile 2 factor auth requests every 30-60 minutes sent to the Auth App. Microsoft won't let me change my primary email address which is what the hostile actor is using. How to proceed? I am guessing there is background security stuff happening because of all the failed login attempts, but they don't show up in the login attempt history.

Hello Will!
Have you tried to change your password? I think this is where you can start and ensure you remove any devices you do not trust as well.
