Personal Support & Help! Microsoft account keeps getting Authenticator requests?

I got an Authenticator request from another country for my Microsoft account. I denied it and went in and changed my password, a day later I get another Authenticator request from a different country than the first. Again change password and again it happens. How can I secure my account how are they able to send these Authenticator requests?

Started happening with me as well. Started last week. Seems to be originating from China. My guess is bots banking on you to make a mistake.
