You got a sign-in approval you did not start

Deny it, then change your password and tell us.

Updated September 21, 2026

If your phone asks you to approve a sign-in and you are not signing in, someone else has your password and is trying to get in. Your approval is the only thing stopping them.

  1. Select Deny. Never approve a prompt you did not start, even if it keeps coming.
  2. If the app asks you to type a number and you are not signing in, deny it.
  3. Change your password. See reset your Microsoft 365 password.
  4. Call or text us at (231) 884-7146 so we can check your account.
Careful

A caller who asks you to approve a prompt or read out a code is trying to trick you. Hang up and call us.
