I have a different link for reset, and my reset link and cancel reset link have only 1 symbol difference. I'm currently trying to contact Microsoft and avoid any further possibilities of this "phishing" trick.

These are the two questions that come to mind. 1. If I am logged into my email and see this email, why would I need my password reset (as I must know what it is currently)? 2. If I can not log in and I need my password reset, then why would I be sent an email since I could never read it without being logged in? It's very simple to change your password. It didn't say that someone made a request and if you want to do this, then go here. Normally it would say if this was not you, then ignore the email as the request will not be valid after like 48 hours. This sounds really fishy..

Actually it's the third time this week that I receive it. I read your posts and they confirm my idea that it's phishing...and...I never asked for resetting my password! thanks guys, La I’ve just received this mail.
