Verify Account

Hi all..I have just received two or three mails that says its from Microsoft saying someone might have tried sign in to my account and and I am worried whether to confirm my password after seeing the obvious misspelling at the beginning of the message as you can see below.
Can you tell me, is it legit or not please.?

Weapos;ve detected something unusual about a recent sign-in for the Weapos;ve detected something unusual about a recent sign-in for the Microsoft account le*****@outlook.com. For example, you might be signing in from a new location, device or app.

It's hacker phishing spam.

I've been getting the same sort of emails regarding my Yahoo mail. That stuff went straight to the Yahoo spam bucket. If Yahoo says it's spam, then it's spam.

Neither Microsoft nor any other legitimate company will send you email asking you for a password. Not ever!
Nor will they block access just because the claim "unusual activity".

Does the email give you a link to click? Where does that lead? I'm betting it's NOT going to microsoft.com :)

Clicking on a link inside a suspected e-mail phishing scam is unsafe in itself.

Outlook has been having problems worldwide and scammers are taking advantage of the two-step authentication method.

This will tell you if anyone has tried accessing your account.

I agree that the email is probably a phishing email, if you have two-factor authentication on your account you may receive these emails but they won’t contain spelling errors. When I receive one I visit the website directly not via the link in the email.

Excellent feedback! I agree completely about visiting the site directly; not the link. Heck, even with safe emails, I still visit the site directly and not by way of the link in the email. I always copy the link and put it directly in the browser to see if my browser security flags the site/link as malicious.

Hi....I have hovered over the link and it says Sign in to your Microsoft account ....but I am still scared to click on it.
I changed my computer a couple of weeks ago and maybe gave them my other email address, also when I clicked on REVIEW RECENT ACTIVITY it said
You can't access this site right now
This site requires a security code to sign in. When your security info updates on 4/23/2018 you will be able to access this site. You can still access sites such as Outlook and Skype that don't require a security code.
On 3/24/2018 you requested that your security info be replaced.
Current security info
Phone number ending in 52
New security info
Alternate email: ca*****@btinternet.com
If you didn't request this, let us know.
If you'd like to keep your current security info, you can cancel this request.
So should I just wait and see if I get any more emails?. By the way I got one today.

Sorry don't know what happened there but on my last post it has not put in what I typed.
I should have said " I have hovered over the link and it says https://account.microsoft.com/activity"
