Someone keeps trying to access my MS account

Like the title says, I’ve got yesterday an email with a code to access my Microsoft account and that made me suspicious because I wasn’t trying to login to my account. When I looked at the login attempts I saw that someone else was trying to access my account, I changed my password, activated TFA. Thinking of going through and buying a physical key like yubico to further secure my account. Any tips are appreciated.

      Im glad they called, too. These log in attempts started around the same time. If i wasnt connected to their secure server with my pc regularly saying its updating, id be really worried that someone would try and log into my online banking!
