Question

Answer 1

Hi @Lienl

Thank you for reaching out via the Microsoft Q&A forum regarding this issue. 

Based on the screenshot, the sender address looks suspicious. It shows @rnicrosoft.com (with “r+n” instead of “m”), which is not an official Microsoft domain. This is a common phishing technique where attackers register similar-looking domains to trick users.

If you did not request a password reset, please do not click on any links in that email. Since you already changed your password, that was the right step. I also recommend the following:

• Ensure you changed your password from the official Microsoft login page: https://account.microsoft.com
• Enable Two-Step Verification on your Microsoft account for extra protection
• Review your account’s Recent Activity to confirm there is no unauthorized access: https://account.live.com/Activity
• Delete or report the suspicious email as phishing

Please note that Microsoft will never ask you to provide your password or payment details through email. Official password reset emails from Microsoft will only come from addresses ending with @accountprotection.microsoft.com or @microsoft.com.

If you need help reviewing the email headers or have any follow-up questions, feel free to share (with personal info removed), and I’ll be happy to assist further. Your proactive approach plays a key role in protecting your data and your organization.

Answer 2

Hi Lienl,

You dont send password resets to emails.

🔍 Here's what you should know:

• Microsoft does not typically request passwords via email. If you receive an email asking you to enter or confirm your password, especially through a link, it's almost certainly a phishing attempt.
• Legitimate password change notifications from Microsoft may confirm that a change occurred, but they won’t ask you to take further action unless you initiated a recovery or reset process.
• Exchange Online may log or notify admins about password changes, but again, it won’t ask for credentials via email

Answer 3

Definitely scam
