Instead, I am getting random notifications on my phone, from people around the world trying to access my account. If, and only if, that password is correct, the Microsoft Authenticator then should prompt me to approve the sign-in request in the Authenticator app. What I want when anyone, including myself, tries to log into my Microsoft Account, is for the system to first require a password. There are a several Microsoft forum posts on this, such as Microsoft Authenticator: turn off passwordless sign in, and others referencing Azure which is not applicable here, but I have not seen any solution yet.
