OneDrive Security Alert

Question

I just received a OneDrive popup saying Microsoft suspects suspicious attempts to access my OneDrive account have been detected and I need to change my password.  A security code which I needed to allow me to change my password was sent to the proper account email and I changed my password using the popups that followed.  Now after reading some information online I wonder if this is legitimate or a phishing scam.  Thanks for any advice.

Hi Karl,

Microsoft monitors our user's accounts to avoid any suspicious actions without permission. We recommend that you refer to this article: What happens if there's an unusual sign-in to your account to learn more information regarding what Microsoft do to prevent these instances.

If you have any other concerns, feel free to post back.

Thanks Reb,  I checked out the link and feel much better that is wasn't a phishing expedition.  It was the first time this happened so even though it looked legitimate in this day and age you can't be too careful.
