Authenticator requests....so many of them

I keep getting dozens and dozens of authenticator requests. Every day I get at least 10 of them. There is no unusual activity on the account and I can't even see a sign in request being triggered other than the push notification.

I've changed my password thinking it was compromised, but it didn't slow them down for even 1 second. I'm also seeing SO many other people with this issue. What the F*** is going on?

    Hi Matthew,

    I had this same issue and had to reset password, reset my MFA auth devices, logoff from all sessions. But it seems my auth app on my device went crazy and had to update / reinstall and that seems like fixed it. I know it is strange but this was the issue dont know why whether it is a device or auth app issue not sure.

    Hope this helps.
