Verification Code That I Did Not Request

Question

I got a verification code that I did not request. I did not attempt to login or anything along those lines.

Please make sure that my Outlook account is secure.

Hello, thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

It appears that someone may be trying to access your account.

Please visit your Microsoft Account Recent Activity page to check for any suspicious activity:

https://account.microsoft.com/security

If you notice anything unusual,

Click "This wasn't me" to report the activity to Microsoft or you will be guided to secure your account.

Regardless, we strongly recommend taking the following steps to protect your account:

• Reset your Microsoft account password.
• Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security.

Security settings page - https://account.live.com/proofs/Manage

Ensure all of your security information is Up-to-date and enable Microsoft Authenticator to verify your identity.

Let me know if you still need more help.
