Windows 10: Is someone trying to hack my account?

I have received 3 emails from Microsoft providing me with the one time pass code I requested. The trouble is, I didn’t request this. Is someone trying to hack into my Microsoft account?

77000 Steam accounts hacked every month

Ironically I've had the same crappy password since I made my Steam when HL2 came out and never been hacked, but I've had my Origin account jacked twice with a much more complicated password. 2 step on Origin fixed this problem, but just thought it was kind of funny. I went with 2 step on Steam to be safe too.

 

Steam Account Hacked

Again...

I sent a ticket I just hope they resolve it soon cause I really want to play Portal 2.

And I don't want him getting me banned.

But the scary thing is they hacked my Email account too!

I've changed the password but is that enough?

I scanned my Computer using malware and it got rid of 9 Nasty objects! Its been months since I did a scan and now I'm thinking this is how they got me.

Is a password change and malware scan removal enough to secure me? I made the password much harder than before.

Thinking about doing a reformat as well. Suggestions? Should I leave the hacked email account and make a new one?

 

Hacking account

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Where are you seeing the attempts to hack your Microsoft account, is that on the recent activity web page on your Microsoft account online on this link?

Sign in to your Microsoft account

if that is where you are seeing it, there is no way for you to stop that, it is some bot online trying to access your account, ensure you have a good long and strong password on your Microsoft account to ensure it cannot be hacked, and it may be a good idea to enable two step verification on your account also, eventually that bot will move on to try to hack someone else's account.
