Security breach

[WindyMirage13]

Got an email that I may have a security breach. User location didn’t even match my continent! Turned on two-step verification. Got a text 18 hrs later (attached) where a user apparently tried to log in and couldn’t (I guess). Discuss.

@WindyMirage13 You did, indeed have a security breach. While the MFA saved your account (good job on enabling it, suggest you do so on all and any other services you can), I would heartily recommend changing your password.

And using a password manager to create and handle good passwords if you do not have one already.

Not to mention that by activating MFA during Cybersecurity Awareness Month (October, so a few days left for the rest of you), you get a month of complementary Origin Access:
