Someone keeps trying to access my MS account

Like the title says, I’ve got yesterday an email with a code to access my Microsoft account and that made me suspicious because I wasn’t trying to login to my account. When I looked at the login attempts I saw that someone else was trying to access my account, I changed my password, activated TFA. Thinking of going through and buying a physical key like yubico to further secure my account. Any tips are appreciated.

    Personally my hotmail account is nearing 25 years old. I both get this and godawful amounts of spam. I’m not sure if its entirely due to age, or due to historic leaks including the email address. I would say it’s normal if you have the same email as you did in the 90s.

        Oh sorry I didn’t realise we were supposed to be living off grid entirely to be allowed to browse this sub.

        You should probably stop going to work and school, too much exposure.
