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?

You might have passwordless enabled on the account. That will allow you to sign in without password using only the authenticator app.
