gizmola Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I'm not clear on what account you have an issue with. In general, if it's anything you really care about, then take the time to set up 2 factor authentication. Emails that claim your account is locked and prompt you to re-authenticate are often Phishing attacks, where you never actually hit the site you thought it was, and for that reason, any emails like that should be ignored, not clicked on. You might want to inspect the original email and see if it was forged. Looking at the email headers and the src of any links usually tells you the story there. Pretty much all sites have now gone to informational messages if they detect changes to an account, or unusual activity. They never prompt you to "login" or to click some link. Email is unfortunately untrustworthy and all emails needs to be viewed with suspicion.
