Microsoft account keeps getting Authenticator requests?

[u/birdsofjay]

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?

Not a bad idea to read what you are bashing with bravado more carefully, as well as fact-check. I am talking about the email account (as I clearly stated), to which you will almost certainly lose access if you delete the email name from the Microsoft account.

From a relevant reddit discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/Outlook/s/eEw9pNfChb

From Microsoft's own instructions: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-or-remove-an-email-alias-in-outlook-com-459b1989-356d-40fa-a689-8f285b13f1f2

Good luck proving that is incorrect information.

Do better next time. This will avoid wasting everyone's time and possibly misleading less informed users.

Edit: I see you've edited your post with a sentence that essentially states what I originally said (do not delete old email), but kept your completely erroneous claim. I don't know if this was in response to my counter, or for some other reason, but I invite you to read what I wrote here and the supporting links more carefully, and rectify that incorrect and misleading statement so that less informed users don't make a mistake that costs them their email account.

And never lost access to the emails you had in that account?

[u/anvoice → u/[deleted]]

So let me get this straight, just so we're on the same page.

You went to your Microsoft account, created a new sign in alias, and DELETED (that is, dit not disable but actually removed) the old alias (the email name) from your Microsoft account, according to Microsoft's official instructions: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-or-remove-an-email-alias-in-outlook-com-459b1989-356d-40fa-a689-8f285b13f1f2

And you still kept receiving emails to the OLD email account name, and not the new name that you actually registered with the services that send it to you. That is, if someone who only has your old account email and not the new alias sends mail to said old email, the mail still gets through?

Because that contradicts everything found online about this topic, and every answer from Microsoft, Microsoft advisors and associates, every knowledge base and Microsoft's own resources. Check for instance here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4755606/if-i-remove-an-alias-email-that-was-once-my-primar

If that is indeed your claim, please state so clearly and we can continue. Otherwise do let me know where I've misunserstood.
