I have an audit activity alert that, I assume, was created in Office 365 before it became Microsoft 365. My problem is trying to find where to manage this alert. Does anyone recognize this alert and know where I go to manage it? I have spent time looking through the Compliance port at Alerts and alert policies, but there is nothing there to manage.MFA alerts for when a alternative phone number is added

Have a great day!Why are Microsoft Data Centres logging in to my Office 365 accounts? Activity Alerts - BAV2ROPC
Hello, I have an activity alert set up to email me whenever a log in is detected from one of my 12 office 365 email users. These emails contain the username logging in and the IP address the log in originated from. Until the end of 2019, all IP addresses were expected, either being that of the office, the Vodafone mobile network or the home addresses of the sales guys. In 2020, I have started getting log in alerts, which according to https://whatismyipaddress.com/ are from Microsoft Datacentres in Ireland, Holland and Austria, all with "Microsoft Corporation" as the ISP and sometimes with the same for the Organisation and sometimes with "Microsoft Azure". e.g 40.101.88.221 (Amsterdam), 40.101.102.149 (Dublin). Worried about potential breaches, I contacted Microsoft Support (who by the way are always ON IT, thank you) who helped me find info in the audit log to say the User Agent is BAV2ROPC, which lead me to this page https://www.reddit.com/r/Office365/comments/bl90gw/bav2ropc_user_agent_in_logs/ where someone's found it means "Business Apps v2 Resource Owner Password Credential", which is apparently the User Agent for an updated version of Outlook Mobile. I have a couple of questions / observations and wondered if anyone could shed any light on this. 1) My users don't know their passwords so it's highly unlikely they've been phished, so I don't think these are breaches. 2) My email account has triggered log ins from Microsoft IP addresses, and I have 2 factor authentication turned on where I received a text message code to my mobile. I have not received texts in relation to these logins, so again I don't think it's a breach. 3) I don't use Microsoft Outlook on my mobile, so don't think I'd be generating this BAV2ROPC user agent (but I am on the Activity Alerts). 4) If it was a device I was using causing this user agent, why aren't the Activity Alerts logging my IP address from my device's location? 5) My account is used to sign in programatically in a piece of software I wrote, so that could explain it for my account, but I'm also getting alerts for users who only access their email on their android phone on the built in email app. 6) The frequency I'm receiving Activity Alerts from Microsoft IP addresses is increasing. I get a few a day now. In summary, I don't think there's anything untoward goin on, but as a responsible admin, I'ld like to understand exactly what's occuring. Many thanks, Dave
