    Received Verification Code not Requested

    I received a verification code via text from number 517-89. I have received text from this number before however this time it was not requested. When I logged on to check activity, the only attempts show were my own but not at the time I received the notification
    (3:20 pm ET)

    How can I check to see who else requested this code.

    The account I checked is linked to my work email. But would I also have a separate account for personal use?
     
  3. I received multiple Microsoft Verification codes and did not request them

    i just received 3 Miscrosoft Verification codes on my phone and I did not request a password reset. About 45 days ago, my account hacked and my microsoft account and email were taken. I have been able to reset my password and actually opened a new Microsoft
    account. I would like some information about these requests and wondered if they were just delayed from 45 days ago or whether someone is trying to access my account again. I have three separate profile and I want to know which one it is from.

    no longer receiving a code

    How long do you suggest for me to wait? I do admit that I spam requested and received a code every time but at a certain point, I no longer received any. Do you think waiting until the next day would do me any good?

    I started off with trying to guess the last digit, then sending requests multiple times in hoping to get a new one then when i checked a couple hours later to request for a code, I don’t receive a message at all.
