Activity Missing from "View My Sign-in Activity"

I’ve noticed that my "recent activity" data on "View my Sign-in Activity" (available at https://account.microsoft.com/) is only showing the last two or three successful sign-ins, and no failed sign-in attempts — which is unusual. I typically see 30 days of activity, including failed logins by fraudsters around the world. Any ideas on why I'm not seeing more activity? Thank you!

    Don't get me started on banks. Wells Fargo, in the name of marketing, started sending me alerts for deposits with the amount of the deposit and my checking account balance in an unsecured email. A year earlier, a bought a "security key" so nobody could get in my Microsoft account. I checked with them to make sure it was allowed, but "strangely" after I followed all the procedures, it wouldn't work. Just by mere coincidence, Microsoft contacted me about their version. So, I researched their version, and it was a mess. So many complaints of people being locked out of computers.

    Just in case you need to protect your social security number(if we even have SS very much longer), you can freeze it by calling the 800#, but the problem is, to remove the freeze you have to go to a designated SS office and need a LOT of identification.

    In 5 years 1 guy has been able to get past the FIRST step of signing in my account, there are 2 more steps.

    Hi Walker:

    I know just how you feel. I don't do mobile banking on my desktop or on my phone. I just don't do mobile banking at all. The internet is such a scary place. It is too easy for scammers to break into your phone. I, too, have Norton. I use the safe web on my phone for my email accounts on the phone. Great feature! Yes, they are expensive, but worth it. Especially, since I have had my phone hacked. Also, what kills me the most is that I can't get back on to Facebook anymore because my phone company screwed 63 million customers by giving out all my sensitive information and so did my internet provider. They also screwed millions of people (including me). I called the phone company and told them how upset I was that right after they screwed their customers that their prices went up. I told them that I had a lot of stock in their company and have always had them. Both statements are true. But now I am going to leave them and sell my stock in their company. Because of the slap in the face I received from them. I know they don't want to lose me, so they gave me a HUGE discount to stay. I pay a lot less now. Still, really glad I have Norton.

    You are using a personal account and already tried multiple devices and browsers so if activity still is not showing wait 24 to 48 hrs since data can be delayed. Check Privacy Dashboard to ensure tracking is enabled and review your security info at Microsoft Security.

    Best regards,

    If your Microsoft account activity only shows a few recent logins and no failed attempts it could be due to low recent activity, a temporary display issue, or Microsoft data retention limits. Make sure you are signed in with your personal account not a work or school one and try checking again in private or incognito mode or another browser. If it continues Microsoft may be limiting visibility due to backend changes.

    Best regards,

    Harry

    Hello GaryJE! Thank you so much for reaching out, I am Harry an Independent Advisor, and I am glad to assist you today with this issue.

    Check your activity at account.microsoft.com/security then click Review recent activity. Make sure you are signed into your personal Microsoft account not work or school. If only a few logins show it may be due to low activity or Microsoft auto clearing older data after 30 days. Try using a private browser window to refresh the view. Let me know if you are still missing expected activity.

    Best regards,

    Harry
