    I keep getting single use code emails every few days that I did not request.


    I checked the login activity in my MS account, and I see login attempts from all over the world, places I have not been. Quatar, Brazil, USA, Slovenia etc. What should I do?

    :)

  2. is it a hack/scam?, i keep getting emails about requests for a single use code

    i can not actually find the best "product* cause its purely code generations for logging into the Microsoft account itself

    I keep getting emails for a single use code in my email. I probably receive 10 emails a day for the past few weeks. And I haven't been trying to request a code. - the bit in bold is bold for a reason i have already been ignoring and deleting the messages its getting it the point that i want to report this for harassment soon.

    Email says:

    We received your request for a single-use code to use with your Microsoft account.

    Your single-use code is: -code redacted-

    If you didn't request this code, you can safely ignore this email. Someone else might have typed your email address by mistake.

    Thanks,

    The Microsoft account team

    It's quite annoying. The email sender is from the official Microsoft email. - i know its actually the official email cause to log in to post this i did actually finally need to actually generate myself a code (irony yes)

    I WOULD LIKE TO BRING THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF MICROSOFT CAUSE THIS THE LEVELS OF CODE GENERATIONS I AM BEING SENT IS BOARDING ON HARASSMENT LEVELS.

    We received your request for a single-use code - is it a fake?

    Dear All:

    Since a few days I receive in my email account this message 3x/day each day

    ==================================

    Your single-use code

    Microsoft account team <*** Email address is removed for privacy ***>

    to me

    Hi *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, [xxxxxxx done by me]

    We received your request for a single-use code to use with your Microsoft account.

    Your single-use code is: 6097819

    If you didn't request this code, you can safely ignore this email. Someone else might have typed your email address by mistake.

    Thanks,

    The Microsoft account team

    =====================================

    Is this real or fake? What has to be done?

    I appreciate your comments

    Best wishes

    Henning

  4. I keep getting single use code emails every few days that I did not request.

    I get 4 or 5 'single-use codes' emails from Microsoft each day for my email address that I did not request. Should I be concerned? And if so, what should I do about it?
