My two-factor auth move blocked a weird login try
Last week, I got an alert about a login attempt on my email (it was pretty scary, honestly). Since I had two-factor authentication turned on, they couldn't get in. What are some other simple steps I can take to boost my online safety?

Pretty scary? Sounds like someone just wanted to read your spam folder.

Had the same thing happen last year with my old email. Changed every password for my important accounts right away. Started using a password manager to make them all different and strong. Also turned on two-factor anywhere it was offered. Checked my login activity for a while to make sure nothing else was weird. It's annoying but you can lock it down pretty fast.
