  1. Someone keeps trying to get into my account


    Hi there,I have been recently over the last few weeks getting these emails about single use codes and it’s saying someone has entered my email and gotten the single use code sent to it. So I changed my password multiple time and had no others for a few days then all of a sudden got 6 within the space of 3 hours between them.Is there anyway they can hack into my account as this is very nerve wracking and I really don’t want to be hacked as my bank and everything is connected to the account as well being with Xbox. Thanks

    :)
