Blocking someone from trying to log in
I was involved in a romance scam. I have my computer set up that you need to approve login through my cell phone. Now, I have reason to believe that he is unsuccessfully trying to login to my computer from different isps all over the world. He tries several times a day almost every day. I have enabled all the security ways that I can. Is there any way I can block him without the hassle of changing my email everywhere?

==============================================
If there was an unusual sign-in attempt for your account, you'll get an email or text message. We'll send a message to all your alternate contact methods. To help protect your account, we'll need you to provide a security code from one of these contacts. This step prevents people who aren't you from signing in and lets us know if it was just you signing in from an unusual location or device.
If you aren't sure about the source of an email, check the sender. You'll know it's legitimate if it's from the Microsoft account team at email address removed for privacy reasons.
