    Advice for dealing with Unsuccessful sign-ins


    Dear Microsoft Community, I've been dealing with a problem where an Android user has tried to use a VPN to disguise their location, then try to get access to my account. I have talked to Support multiple times this week and they've assured that my account is safe since I have 2FA and have launched an investigation into the matter. I have removed my main email as the sign-in preference and now use an alias from an email protection service.

    Too many password resets required after unsuccessful sign ins

    Several weeks ago I started getting multiple daily unsuccessful sign in messages from MS. Even when no unsuccessful sign ins had been made. Then I get forced password change resets that compound the problem. I will still get unsuccessful sign in messages
