Like the title says, I’ve got yesterday an email with a code to access my Microsoft account and that made me suspicious because I wasn’t trying to login to my account. When I looked at the login attempts I saw that someone else was trying to access my account, I changed my password, activated TFA. Thinking of going through and buying a physical key like yubico to further secure my account. Any tips are appreciated.

What I find hilarious is that Microsoft wants you to connect your entire digital existence to your Microsoft account… software keys, Windows license, Windows account/login, the works.

One little pwn and all that goes bye-bye.

Thanks, but no thanks. I’m still 100% local. I refuse to hook my Microsoft account into anything other than OneDrive, and even with that, I’m clipping all of it’s wings so that it shares only exactly what I want it to, and not all of my user directories.
