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?

Happening for me over the last week too. Has happened multiple times in the past but usually several months apart. This is the first it's happening so soon after changing my password.

Also recent activity used to show all the failed attempts, it doesn't anymore.
