My Authenticator app keeps notifying me that someone signed into my account on Microsoft but when I go in to check the notifications it’s gone.

For the past week it’s been saying signed into Microsoft but I never signed in. I tried to see if I could change my password or something but there are no options. I can’t even see where they are signing in from.
