  1. MS account unsuccessful sign-in attempts


    I've just decided to look at my account activity prompted by unsolicited emails offering 'single-use codes'. There are more than 70 'unsuccessful sign-in' attempts in the last month - from all over the world! Is this an unusually large number?My MS password is relatively simple but it's not used for any other account I have. I keep virtually no personal information in my account - I only have the account because it's not easy to run a PC without one!Thanks.

    :)

  2. Unsuccessful sign-in attempt

    Hello, and thank you for a speedy reply.

    My account has not been hacked; I am still able to access and sign in to it. What I want to know is if my account is still safe after this incident. It was an unsuccessful sign-in attempt.

    I'm guessing that changing my password again would be helpful, too?

  3. Unsuccessful sign-in attempt

    Hello.

    A few minutes ago I checked my sign-in history, and I was shocked to learn that there had been an unsuccessful sign-in attempt from somewhere in China. I'm not in China, nor have I ever been.

    The incident happened last week, but I've been able to still sign in to my account every day since then.

    Since it was an unsuccessful attempt, is my account still safe? Should I change my password to be on the safe side?

    Here's a screenshot for reference:

    Assistance Required: Multiple Unsuccessful Sign-In Attempts from Various Global Locations

    Hi,

    I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.

    It is "common", every day since massive data breaches people are trying to invade accounts, since anyone has access you your e-mail address, they can try to invade or sync your account, but without the right password and the other security measures, they can't do it.

    You already took the best steps to make your account secure, as long these sign-in and IMAP syncs are unsuccessful, your account is safe.

    This happens to all kinds of accounts all the time, but only on your Microsoft account, you have this list of unsuccessful attempts.
