Someone keeps trying to access my MS account

Like the title says, I’ve got yesterday an email with a code to access my Microsoft account and that made me suspicious because I wasn’t trying to login to my account. When I looked at the login attempts I saw that someone else was trying to access my account, I changed my password, activated TFA. Thinking of going through and buying a physical key like yubico to further secure my account. Any tips are appreciated.

    I’d say ignore it, or if you’d like it to stop, create a new email alias and change your login settings so it only allows you to sign it with the new alias (and don’t use that email for anything)

    Edit: I just noticed there are some successful sign ins. Make sure to change your password, add 2fa, and log out of all devices
