Hi,

Please use the code ***** to use your Windows Live ID from an unrecognized computer.

If you didn't request this code, we recommend that you go to https://account.live.com and update your security information.

Does anyone know what's that about? Is someone logging into my account or trying to do so?

Include the full mail header, please.

Seems like it's legit though.

They send emails to you to verify that a new computer is trying to access your account legitimately.

This is a known feature of Facebook and Google as well.

Seems like someone got your account details / brute-forces them and that means you should change your password and where ever else you might use that password.
