I've been experiencing frequent login requests on my Outlook account for the last couple of hours, coming from an iOS device. This issue started after the mobile app update that lets you log in by selecting from three numbers on the app. I don't think someone has my password since I've changed it and have two-factor authentication enabled. However, when I check the activity tab, it only shows a few login entries from my computer months ago and doesn't list any failed attempts or logins that aren't from me. I'm looking for advice on how to stop these persistent login requests since they're becoming really frustrating.

It sounds like someone might be trying to log into your account but doesn't have your password. Microsoft often only shows successful logins, so you might not see any failed attempts. Since you've already changed your password and have 2FA activated, your account should be secure. I recommend logging out of all sessions and double-checking your security settings to ensure there are no unknown devices linked. Sometimes these constant requests can be due to apps caching old tokens that are trying to log in.
Thanks for the quick response! I think signing out of all sessions is a great idea. I only see my computer listed under 'Devices,' and it's odd that my phone and laptop aren't showing up. I never owned an iOS device, so I doubt it's an old token issue.
