I keep getting single-use codes for an email of mine

Well I received an email for single use sign in code for my account and I think someone has access to my device already. so when they request that code to sign into my account whether I ignore it or not doesn't even matter if they can go through my email without me knowing.

I would like to turn off single use code feature to access my account. because i recently had an issue when someone went into my browser and changed the settings and then locked me out from being able to access any websites.

after paying money to use this service I would think it would be more secure. But once someone can access your information, a person cannot even get onto a browser to notify anyone.


Andrea_270, regarding the single use code/ one-time code, I understand how discomforting it can be to receive a one-time security code for your account when you didn't initiate. However, it's a good idea to ignore this code if you haven't requested it. One-time code is an essential security feature that prevents unauthorized access to your account. One-time code is required to access your account. These codes can be used only once and has expiration time for their usage. You may receive one-time code emails if: 1. Signing into your Microsoft account from a new device or browser. 2. Resetting your Microsoft account password. 3. Making changes to your Microsoft account security information. 4. Signing into your Microsoft account from a new location. 5. Unusual and suspicious activity is detected on your Microsoft account. If someone mistakenly enters your account email ID, you can't stop them, that's out of your control (you don't know who it is), All you can do is ignore it, as suggested in the email. The same applies if someone may be trying to intentionally access your Microsoft account, a one-time code is a security feature that prevents this unauthorised access. You don't control the actions of others, hence you can't stop it. If there was a way to stop it, Microsoft would state it in an email rather than suggesting you to ignore it any one-time code you did not initiate. I will suggest you check your Microsoft account sign-in activity to make sure there are no unauthorised access. You can see a list of devices and browsers that have accessed your account recently. Microsoft account management website: https://account.live.com/Activity Here are a few things you can do to make your Microsoft account more secured: 1. Create a strong password for your account 2. Use the Microsoft Authenticator phone app to sign in without a password 3. Make your account easier to recover 4. Make sure your operating system has the latest updates 5. Never reply to email asking for your password 6. Check your recent activity 7.

So you admit that yall know peeps are trying to brute force accounts via one time code and yall won't put anything into place to secure that problem...

Yall telling us you can promise our accounts are safe even tho they keep attempting to breach it with a code that is sent to the email every time they try?...

I had this problem. Contacted Microsoft through "help" and they walked me through security changes that stopped it all.
