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.

You can log onto your Microsoft account though Microsoft's website, not any e-mail link, for anything, ever.
After logging, click your initials in the top right to go to your profile, click security and check login activity.
The log will most likely contain only your own connections.
Scammers have all sort of tricks to make an e-mail look like it comes from a legitimate source.
The easiest way to not get scammed is to only log in account from the actual website you bookmarked, never from a link.
