    I have applied basically all additonal security steps to make it unlikely to almost impossible to hack into my account. However, I cannot influence some idiot still trying to guess or bruteforce passwords to hack my account. Day by day, hour by hour, always from another IP in another country, this guy fails to log into my account. And after some failed attempts Microsoft blocks my account. I then only can unlock it going through some security procedure. Now, I appreciate that Microsoft takes some measures to prevent my account being hacked. However, is there anything elso or more that can be done? My email address is obviously known, I cannot prevent someone constantly trying to log in (using multiple IPs). Am I doomed to unlock my account twice per day for the rest of my life?

    Recent activity shows many recent attempts to sign into my Hotmail account from all around the world. This is clearly fraudulent activity. I reset my password on September 10th and just did again today - 10 days later. I don't want to have to reset my password this often. What are you doing to stop people from locking down my account by trying to sign in too many times?

    i have the same issue. honestly the fact that there is no way to report the bot emails from even trying to access your account again and again is absurd. receiving constant notifications that someone is trying access your account is annoying and ridiculous. plus i only found out when i received a notification saying my security info had been changed. at 2am. which means they got in. the change in security info actually locked me out of my account. i jumped through hoops to get back in. and if i was unable to, they would have had complete access and been able to lock me out. i have everything from important documents to subscriptions on my account. that i pay for, if you understand what I'm saying.

    respectfully Microsoft. not good enough
