Here are some things you can do, Change your Microsoft Account Password to at least 16 characters. Recommend 20 min. If you use Microsoft Authenticator, then you could remove your password completely and go password-less. If you do not or cannot change all web accounts linked to your Microsoft, then creating a new Microsoft Alias is easier. Your new Microsoft Alias address can be made as your default login address. Remember to uncheck Sign-in access for your first email address. You will not lose access to this address. Simply blocks login attempts from unauthorised users.
