Why do I keep getting verification texts?

Recently, I have been getting texts stating, "Use verification code xxxxxx for Microsoft authentication." I have not been trying to access my account, so I assumed maybe someone had my login and password, so I changed my password, yet I am still receiving these texts even after changing my password. Is this spam or some other problem? The texts come from five number phone numbers.

    Log into your Microsoft account on this link to check the activity on your account, do you see ay login attempts from locations you do not recognize, and if so, were they successful.
