Someone keeps trying to access my MS account

Like the title says, I’ve got yesterday an email with a code to access my Microsoft account and that made me suspicious because I wasn’t trying to login to my account. When I looked at the login attempts I saw that someone else was trying to access my account, I changed my password, activated TFA. Thinking of going through and buying a physical key like yubico to further secure my account. Any tips are appreciated.

    Geo block would be great on unsuccessful logging in.

      you mean like fail2ban? a standard POSIX package since the 90s? that kinda paradigm that MS has no concept of?

        What’s more annoying is that it’s been happening since January 21st and no notice from MS.
