I've gotten two notifications about attempted logins into the account in the past weeks that were NOT initiated by me. This is despite changing the password. If you get a sale notification or something from this account in the near future, please be weary.

On an unrelated note - what's your mother's maiden name?

@Tommy This is concerning… Log in attempts that means someone knew the password but didn’t get access due to 2 factor authentication?

That’s scary especially people trust people here, nobody will think there’s a scammer behind a legitimate account…

@Poppin92 is that you?

DM me screen shots of these notifications which should have the IP address that they were attempted from. Or post it this thread if you don't think it's an IP associated with your account. The last time this happened it was from the IP of the user raising the concern. Not sure why or how it happens but I think it's when they are logged in on multiple devices or have multiple windows/tabs open and the 90 days expired for that device.

I see people register and put their password in their profile location field. It happens at least one once a month. I don't how secure of a password @Ischie is using but bots trying lists of passwords is nothing new. 2FA is working like it should.

Something must be going on at my end since the IP address for the two factor authentication code came from my IP address.
Sending screen shots.
Hurray for 2FA.
