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.

I checked out my old Hotmail account and there's somebody in china trying to access it non stop.

It's protected with a strong password and 2fa. But it still makes me uneasy. I just wish I could geo block the attempts or something.

Geo block would be great on unsuccessful logging in.
