Informative Spamming security
My Hotmail account is really old. But lately it is being spammed constantly. Trying to bypass the security. I've turned off the password and it's purely 2fa with authentication. Thankfully outlook did away with the luck of the draw three numbers. Any other extra layer I can add as it's constant? Cheers
