  1. Seeing yet more "unsuccessful sign-in" attempts


    Hello.


    Recently I posted about seeing several "unsuccessful sign-in" attempts in my sign-in history from around the world. Just a few minutes ago, I've found a few more attempts - all from America.

    I can only assume these are all unsuccessful because I have two-factor verification set up, but my two main questions are:


    1. Is my account still safe because of the two-factor verification?

    2. Should I change my password again to be on the safe side?


    Any help with either or both of these questions would be greatly appreciated, as it is rather unnerving to keep seeing these attempts in the first place.


    I should also mention that I've been able to sign-in to my account with no problems during these times, and I've even run both a malware and antivirus scan recently, wherein nothing suspicious came-up.

    :)

  2. Unsuccessful sign-in attempt

    Hello.

    A few minutes ago I checked my sign-in history, and I was shocked to learn that there had been an unsuccessful sign-in attempt from somewhere in China. I'm not in China, nor have I ever been.

    The incident happened last week, but I've been able to still sign in to my account every day since then.

    Since it was an unsuccessful attempt, is my account still safe? Should I change my password to be on the safe side?

    Here's a screenshot for reference:

  3. Unsuccessful sign-in attempt

    Hello, and thank you for a speedy reply.

    My account has not been hacked; I am still able to access and sign in to it. What I want to know is if my account is still safe after this incident. It was an unsuccessful sign-in attempt.

    I'm guessing that changing my password again would be helpful, too?

    Unsuccessful sign-in attempt

    Sadly, there's no alerts for unsuccessful sign-ins so you'll have to keep updated with recent activities either in your phone app or desktop.
