  1. Prevent sign on attempts from outside my area


    I’m getting sign on requests to my Microsoft account all times of the day. They are not getting in as I have passwordless and dual factor set up but I’m constantly getting prompts to approve access. Is there a way to limit sign in requests to only my area or limit it some other way?

    :)

    password sign in

    Hi,

    About your concern with typing the password after being idle, it is actually recommended to activate for security reasons.

    If you wish to disable it, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    • Go to Settings.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Click on Sign in options.
    • On the right side, you will see required sign in.
    • Change it to Never.

    Let us know how it goes.
