    Unusual activity


    I received several email notifications of unusual sign in activity from Brazil by Microsoft at 4:05 pm. I have changed my password. Is my account secure?

  2. Microsoft account unusual sign-in activity

    Thank you for the reply. I have answered your questions in bold.

    But I still fail to see why any of the questions/measures apply to my situation when Microsoft's "Review recent activity" log shows no "unusual sign-in activity" whatsoever. There are approximately 20 sessions showing on my activity log currently, and everyone
    single one of them shows them to be: my computer, my IP address, my location, my operating system, my browser; all at times of the day when I was on my computer...

    So unless Microsoft's "Review recent activity" page is inaccurate, where on earth is the "unusual sign-in activity" and why am I getting daily emails alerting me to something, that according to Microsoft's "recent activity" log, does not exist?

    Thanks for your continued help/efforts,

    SR

    03/03/17: Update: and, FTR, I got the email again last night, 8 days in a row now. And once again, there is no "unusual sign-in activity" showing in my "recent activity" whatsoever.

    unusual activity from the same IP

    Earlier today I received a mail that there was unusual activity on my microsoft account. I logged and checked the activity page. It should the unusual activity login as well as the current details of the login I just did to check this activity. Both had
    the same IP. I double checked on another site and my IP was indeed that same IP.

    On the unusual activity session the following is listed

    Device/platform : Windows

    Browser/app : Unknown

    Session activity : Unusual activity detected

    To my knowledge the only app that I am sign into on my account is the MS Feedback hub. Could it be this?

    Should I be worried about malware infecting my laptop and that is the cause?

    Definition of "Unusual Activity Detected"

    Hello,

    I recently received an email notification that "Unusual sign-in activity was detected."

    I reviewed the Recent activity page and under the column labeled "Session Type"> "Sesson activity" it was listed with "Unusual activity detected"

    Does this mean that they were successful in signing into my account or were they blocked by a security code or question?

    I know there is another question posted with this same subject title, however, they did not get a helpful answer, so I am reposting.

    Thanks for the assistance!
