5 ways to help protect your Microsoft account
Create a strong password. Strong passwords use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numerals, punctuation marks, and symbols. The longer the better, and don’t use personal information (such as a pet’s name, nickname, or driver’s license number) that can be easily guessed.

Protect your password. Don’t use the same password you use on other sites, and remember to change your Microsoft account password (as well as other passwords) regularly. Watch out for email social engineering scams designed to trick you into turning over your password to a cybercriminal.

Enable two-step verification. Two-step verification uses two ways to verify your identity whenever you sign in to your Microsoft account. Two-step verification is optional, but we recommend that you use it. Learn how to turn it on.

Make sure the security information associated with your account is current. If the alternate email address or phone number you’ve given us changes, update the settings of your account so that we can contact you if there’s a problem.

Watch out for phishing scams. If you receive an email message about the security of your Microsoft account, it could be a phishing scam. Don’t click links in any messages unless you trust or check with the sender.

Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

I am also a Microsoft user and I can feel the urgency in securing your account.


If you are receiving emails requesting for Microsoft account password reset code, this means that someone else is try to reset your account.

It's a good good that you setup a two steps verification so that you will get notified if someone else is trying to reset your account.
They cannot reset that without your permission. They don't have the password yet of your account that is why they requested for a password reset code for them to reset it.

To make sure you can change the password of your account if you want.
