I just got an email today on my gmail account offering a single use code from [email protected]. It looks pretty legit, no spelling errors. I assume that is someone trying to break into my account but can't get past the two stage login. The email head pops up as Microsoft account t. Has anyone else been getting these emails? This is the first time in a year someone has tried to get into my account and failed. I tried posting in the reddit, but you all know how worthless reddit is. The AI flagged it as a "support post" and refused to let me post it.

I've had emails to hotmail/live/outlook accounts I use across various media/social media claiming to be from Microsoft with a 6 digit code given to me to enter wherever it was that started the process.
I ignore them, as I know it wasn't me, but perhaps someone has tried to access an account you use with your gmail account on a Microsoft service.
All I know, if it isn't me I presume it to be sidelined and then discarded by default. Never use the same passwords across different domains.
