You’ve secured the primary protection method. Verify your backup recovery details—such as an alternate email address—and confirm they’re properly enabled for two-factor authentication. Next, understand the signs of suspicious activity.

I’m fully protected with a Fido solution, covering all backups and ensuring my backup email remains unused. I’m still encountering failed login alerts—Microsoft has attempted 47 tries today on my account.

I've received my email since 2001. It's appeared in 37 data breaches, meaning it's likely out there. That's why I rely on a Fido key and a strong password. I'm hoping that covers it.

When receiving messages asking if it was you, reply with a no each time. This may assist in preventing further attempts, though little else is possible—likely just automated checks for common passwords.
