Windows 10: Password repeatedly reset for unauthorized login attempts

Whoever is trying to log into my account DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE PASSWORD it seems.I've been forced to change it 5 times within 30 minutes. This is a damn joke.Don't recommend a passwordless account. I've tried it on another account and faced several issues with password requests that couldn't be handled on my windows system. yes I know about app passwords. They didn't workStop resetting my damn password. Whenever my account gets compromised IT'S MY OWN DAMN PROBLEM. Stop forcing things upon me which I never asked for.

MS Unauthorized Login Attempts - Part II

Back on 12/23/23 I opened a thread about MS unauthorized login attempts from Seychelles and China. As a result I removed my pwd (and turned off 2-Factor authentication) and now only use the MS Authenticator app on my phone to login.

I checked today and noticed since 3/29/24 there have been 3 unsuccessful login attempts (trying use a pwd) from CA, Russia and France. Yesterday (4/23/24) there were also 10 attempts to use Automatic Sync that were unsuccessful from Brazil, Kazakhstan and Morocco.

1) Will MS allow a successful login to my account from another country or state in the USA that is not where I live if the bad actors were somehow able to break the security of the account when for the past 20+ years I have only logged into my MS account from the location where I live?

2) I will not use a pwd anymore on my account and will stick to the MS Authenticator app on my phone but as an extra layer of security should I turn on 2-Factor authentication (even though I will no longer use a password). The "Additional Security" section on the MS Security page says "To increase the security of your account, remove your password (which I have done) OR require two steps to sign in." That seems to indicate one or the other not both.

I am uneasy about so many ill intended login attempts. For all these attempts I have never received an email from MS and my MS Authenticator app has never opened on my phone. Thank you for any suggestions.
