About one a week, I get an email from Microsoft telling me "We received your request for a single-use code to use with your Microsoft account." The email that it says the account is for is not the one I use on Microsoft, but may have used in the past. No MS login site I try knows about it. The email doesn't say where the account code is for. I'd like to kill whatever account this is happening on cause it feels like a security problem waiting to happen. Any ideas?
I wish I could have been there!!
