    That message means Microsoft detected an unusual sign-in attempt or possible access to the account. Microsoft does send real security texts like this, and genuine links in Microsoft text messages can begin with aka.ms.

    What it means:

    • It can happen if there was an unusual sign-in from a new location, device, or app.
    • It can also mean someone may be trying to access the account.
    • Sometimes it is a genuine mistake by someone entering the wrong phone number or account details.

    What to do next:

    1. Do not enter any code unless it was requested by the account owner.
    2. Open the Microsoft account security page directly and review activity: https://account.microsoft.com/security
    3. Select Review activity and check the Recent activity page for unusual sign-in attempts.
    4. If an activity is not recognized:
      • In Unusual activity, expand it and select This wasn't me.
      • In Recent activity, expand it and select Secure your account.
    5. If there is any sign the account was accessed, change the password from the Security basics page.
    6. Before changing the password on a PC, run a full antivirus scan. In Windows Security: Virus and threat protection > Scan options > Full scan > Scan now.
    7. After securing the account, check account settings such as connected accounts, forwarding, and automatic replies.

    Important:

    • If the text was not expected, do not click links unless the message is clearly genuine.
    • Microsoft will never proactively contact users to provide unsolicited technical support.
    • If unsure whether the message is genuine, sign in by typing https://account.microsoft.com or https://account.live.com directly in the browser.

    Hello,

    The message means your account was probably accessed by someone else.

    Can you share a full screen screenshot of the error message?

    I look forward to hearing from you to get the results of the troubleshooting.
