Yogee (@misteryogee) reportedMy live/microsoft userid/email is in some leaked hack db and now I keep getting these Authenticator requests every few hours by someone trying to access my account. @Microsoft @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps is there a way to geofence my account and lock all access attempts from other countries. This can’t be just a problem unique to me

-
Jay ♡ (@xwxfoxie) reported@lostliano @Outlook @Microsoft I see a lot of people hating on you which isn’t fair - I can see the effort, but I think the main issue is the typography - it just feels “off” (and then I’m not a fan of the tab switcher) - but other than that it is really really really good. Good work!
-
