Windows 10: Every day I get sent single-use codes and there are 20+ login attempts on my account daily...

Every single day my email is flooded with single use codes and there is 20+ logins from people in brazil/middle east/etc trying to log into my account. How can I make it so only US login attempts are allowed & disallow them to try for that 1 in a million chance they get the single use code right? Those odds don't sit right with me given how often this occurs, it's only a matter of time because they can correctly guess single use code from sheer luck/persistence and reset my PW? We really need longer single use codes, like 16 digit mixed with number kind that are just meant to be copy/paste

:)

 

Has anyone received emails related to Single-Use Code to access their account without asking for it?

It's a frequent occurrence. Anyone who knows the address but not the password can try to login to your account and by clicking "Forgot password" they can generate one if these codes. The codes are being sent to you, as they should be.

You can't prevent these login attempts. You can enhance the security of your account by using a strong password and/or two step verification.

Constantly recieving "Your single-use code" Emails.

I keep recieving single use code emails everyday and its so annoying, i enabled 2FA thinking it might disable single use codes, But thats not how it works i guess.

In the last two days alone i got 10 single use emails and 53 failed attempts i mean this is so ridiculous i cant even put it into words i need a way to either stop these emails and or attempts, or just start the login process by requiring the password first thing when attempting to login, so that single use codes do not get sent with every fraudulent login attempt instead of spamming my mailbox with emails i did not request.

I also was trying to change my phone number but it appears that my country code isn't supported anymore?? i mean how can i add a new phone number to delete my old number in the first place?

I hope that there are some solutions to these issues, otherwise this current state is extremely unpleasant.
