Check all sign-in activity on a personal Microsoft account

Today, I have received several sign-in attempts through my Microsoft Authenticator app, apparently originating from Russia and Estonia.

I now want to verify whether these sign-in attempts were made by someone who only knew my email address and was attempting to sign in to my Microsoft account without a password. In that case, there would be significantly less cause for concern.

However, I need to know whether the person attempting to sign in actually knew both my email address and my password. If they did, I need to change my password immediately.

Because I also have passwordless sign-in enabled on my account, I cannot determine whether the Authenticator requests I received were triggered by passwordless sign-in attempts or by someone who already knew my password. I therefore do not know what action I should take.

This needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Under My sign-ins (or Review recent activity), I need to be able to see ALL recent sign-ins and sign-in attempts, including unsuccessful attempts.

At the moment, the activity page does not show any of these attempts. It only shows one successful sign-in, which was my own login a few days ago.

I need access to the complete sign-in history so I can determine whether my password has been compromised and take the appropriate security measures.
