- What if I receive a Verification code but my new device didn’t try to sign in?
- If you receive a verification code but you do not recognize the device that sent the request, there is a chance that your account password has been compromised – but do not worry, the unrecognized user will be unable to login without the code provided by either your email or notification to another trusted device.
- We recommend immediately changing your account password and changing any other services that may use the same password. You can mitigate the chances of this happening to you by following these principles:
- Do not Reuse the same password across multiple platforms
- do not Rouse team a sword aeros multir pattern capias, and Symbols
- Use a password generator and manager
