Stop outlook sending unusual activity alert

[Narayan5]

Hi Team,

I am here with a weird question. How to stop outlook from sending unusual activity alert? or remove the verification method from outlook.

Background: I am using a personal outlook account in my automation script to send a notification. The virtual machine where automation script runs is in the cloud(AWS) with dynamic IP address. Every now and then the IP address changes so does the location from where IP address originates which prompt outlook( unusual activity alert) to send a verification code to verify which breaks my automation script.

I was wondering is there a way to stop this from happening. Can I make my outlook account intentionally weak removing all the security verification except password.

Cheers,

Narayan5
