Is this Microsoft unusual sign-in email real?
Reviewed answer
Check Microsoft's own account activity before trusting the email.
- Type account.microsoft.com yourself and review the account's security and recent activity.
- Check the device, time, and whether the sign-in succeeded. Location estimates can be inaccurate.
- If successful activity is unfamiliar, use Microsoft's account-security tools to change your password and review recovery information.
