Someone keeps trying to access my MS account

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.

I have this also all the time on my Microsoft account. All un-successful of course (long password and 2FA activated). So stopped looking at this.

First time it’s happening to me, makes me feel uncomfortable.

Encrypt everything pre-upload and you won't have to care about the security of individual cloud providers ever again.

That won't save you from fingerprinting and non-free JavaScript which is needed to login and use email
