    Why are there 100's of unsuccessful attempts to log onto my email worldwide?


    In Microsoft Privacy & Security 'My Recent Activity' shows 100's of "unsuccessful attempts" to login to my email address from all over the world ~ Ukraine, Bosnia, France and many, many more. Microsoft said not to worry because the attempts were unsuccessful so there's no need to change my password. If they say Don't Worry, I guess I won't. But I am concerned, to say the least. Why is this happening and is this fairly normal?HP ENVY x360 LaptopWindows11

  3. Can I view unsuccessful attempts to log into my phone?

    Is it possible to see unsuccessful attempts to enter a pin and login to the windows phone? Is it also possible to see an audit trail of when you last logged into the phone?



    These would be useful features if you felt someone was trying to snoop on your phone.

    Assistance Required: Multiple Unsuccessful Sign-In Attempts from Various Global Locations

    Hi,

    I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.

    It is "common", every day since massive data breaches people are trying to invade accounts, since anyone has access you your e-mail address, they can try to invade or sync your account, but without the right password and the other security measures, they can't do it.

    You already took the best steps to make your account secure, as long these sign-in and IMAP syncs are unsuccessful, your account is safe.

    This happens to all kinds of accounts all the time, but only on your Microsoft account, you have this list of unsuccessful attempts.
