Many unauthorized sign-in attempts to Microsoft account
When I look at my Microsoft account page that shows sign-in attempts, it show 6-10 every day from all over the world. They are all unsuccessful since I have a strong password and change it a couple times a year. I'm curious as to why this happens. I wonder if it's because I have used the same primary email address for almost 30 years and it's been used on literally hundreds of websites. Anyone else see this?

If that's the case I'd recommend switching to non-SMS verification of app passwords and checking security scores regularly.
