I received a notification from Microsoft Authenticator that said 'Message_NGCWithVerificationNotificationTitleKey' at a specific hour. When I opened the app—not through the notification—a number verification alert came up. I chose to 'Deny' the access, but now I'm worried. I know that many people might try to access my account, but I want to ensure that my account is secure. Should I be concerned about this incident?

If you're using an iPhone, it's worth checking out some discussions online about this type of notification. Also, figure out which account sent the notification—was it Microsoft, Google, or something else? If it was Microsoft, many users have reported strange sign-ins that didn't require two-factor authentication, which is concerning. Definitely keep an eye on your account activity!
I got one from Microsoft too and found it really weird! I haven't noticed anything unusual with my account either, but I'm definitely on alert now.
