Windows 10: Password Reset Code Requests

I'm getting daily password reset code requests, one a day.


Is it possible that someone is sending out requests to multiple addresses and typing in random numbers hoping for a match? Even if the chance is one in 10 million, if they are sending out 10 million requests a day, that makes a match easy enough to do.


Is there any way to find out which IP is generating those requests to block it, to increase the digits I have to type in for a password request, or any other safeguards I can put in place?


Or is this a non-issue because of other protections MS has in place?
