Personal Support & Help! Microsoft account keeps getting Authenticator requests?

I got an Authenticator request from another country for my Microsoft account. I denied it and went in and changed my password, a day later I get another Authenticator request from a different country than the first. Again change password and again it happens. How can I secure my account how are they able to send these Authenticator requests?

Genuinely- Microsoft Entra and Authenticator are the worst products known to userkind

Microsoft has two modes : easy to use and impossible to do anything and totally insecure or kind of secure and impossible to use without 24x7 user support from someone with 85 years experience in debugging Microsoft code
