    Someone is trying to get in to my Microsoft account none stop what should I do?


    In the past 2-3 months some one had been trying to get in to my Microsoft account none stop. I have set up my account to a 2 step authentication and even got the authenticator app and I have changed my password weekly. When I go in to my "review recent activity" there is probably over a 100 failed attempts to log in to my account and all of them are all over the world. To my under my information was sold to the public and who ever wants to get into my account is using a VPN. I only see two options for me and its ether delete my account or hope that the 2 step authentication will stop another 1

    :)

    I tried that, more than once. I go thru the complete procedure of getting a new Microsoft account password, then when I reach the final step to key in the Windows password, I try my NEW Microsoft account password, and I get the same message-invalid password. No luck.

    Any other suggestions.

  3. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.

    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
