You got a suspicious sign-in alert from Microsoft
This alert means someone tried to sign in to your account but Microsoft blocked them. This is a good sign. Your account is protected. Go to account.microsoft.com right now, review the suspicious activity, and if it wasn't you, change your password immediately.
Microsoft's security system detected a sign-in attempt that looked suspicious. Either from a new device, unusual location, or at an odd time. In most cases, Microsoft blocked the attempt so they didn't get in. Your job is to check if it was you, and if it wasn't, change your password right away. A strong new password locks them out completely.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Ignoring the alert and hoping it goes away. Change your password right away if it wasn't you
- Creating a new password that's too similar to your old one. Make it completely different
- Not checking your forwarding rules. Attackers set these up and you can miss them
Signs you need professional help
- You see multiple suspicious sign-in alerts within a short time; you change your password but new alerts keep coming; you find forwarding rules or recovery options you don't recognize and can't change them; or your company data may have been accessed. Contact IT immediately.
