  2. email account hacked. please help

    Also may I suggest you change email accounts to one of the following.....

    Gmail
    Outlook

    The reason is they both use "Step two verification". This style of verification means even if a hacker gets your password they cannot log in to your account. You see every time someone try's to log in that hasn't been verified you will get a text or a phone call giving you a final code to log in. Its very easy and simple to setup also. The great thing is once you setup your Email application with a specific "application password" from that account you never have to log in again AND your account is protected from being logged in from foreign entities.

    I like the new outlook personally however Gmail is also damn good. Gmail also has an IP tracker that allows you to see WHERE the account has been logged in from. Anyway let us know if you wanna change over and have any questions. We will be happy to help and welcome to TPU!

  3. Steam account 'logged in elsewhere'.

    So this time Steam didn't automatically log me in but asked for my password because I was 'logged in elsewhere'.

    Personally I know for sure I wasn't. Obviously I changed my password.

    However, this has already happened some weeks ago as well... and I had changed my password then too.

    I see no difference in my account, my games are still there, I can still log in, no one played any games using my account.

    So, two questions:

    - Can I say for sure that someone is guessing my password and logging in?

    - Is there a way to check through my steam account where 'elsewhere' is?

    Steam account 'logged in elsewhere'.

    did you marked "save this pc" in the list. also if your work network hasnt ip reservation and you get different ip evey time you restart steam may count this as new device.
