    I am also facing the same issue from a long time, I get those emails every day. As suggested above, I reviewed my activity and found that there are attempts made from across the globe.

    What microsoft should do to restrict our accounts to our country region only, when using single sign-on (otp).

    If even we are trying to access other than our country, we have to provide the password first and then the single sign-on (otp)

    Hi everyone,

    I have the same problem, every hour 24/7 a bot tries to get into my account and it has been going on for more than a year. Looking online, there is no real help you can get to fix this other than posting it in a forum.

    I have a strong password and 2FA but I don’t understand that Microsoft can’t find sollutions for this. It’s like having a burglar at your doorstep all day, but the autorities can only help you once they get in and steal your stuff.

    I understand that it is impossible for Microsoft to prevent one-time hacking attempts, but there must be something possible for long-term systematic attacks?

    Kind regards,

    Ruben

    Note: I do believe this is a problem that many many Microsoft users are facing, but are unaware of. I found out because my account immediately froze after I once entered my password wrongly. I then checked the “see my login activity” and was shocked.

    Totally agree. Same situation here since January 2024, I have +2000 failed attempts and some colleagues have the same issue.

    Maybe we have to report this in another place?

    I actually called Microsoft Argentina, they guided and explained me very kindly everything, and that my account is secured, but they can't do anything to prevent others to try to get into the account. I also told them very kindly too, that I understand but this is freaking annoying.

    Someone attempts to hack my account. I have changed my e-mail password after my account was hacked and received threatened e-mails. However I still receive multiple attacks. I don't know if my other accounts were hacked. What to do next? Thanks!
