    Hey there, mohammad abusamra

    It appears someone knows your email address and is trying to sign in using the authenticator method. What you have done, by changing your password is a good step. This ensures your account is protected.

    If this is a Microsoft account, please sign into your account here: https://account.live.com/Activity

    Have a look to see if it is coming from the same location. You may also want to generate a recovery code here: https://account.live.com/proofs/manage/additional (scroll down to the bottom).

    Apart from that, there is no way of preventing requests coming from a particular source.

    Hope this helps,
    Nathan
