    Was my password stolen?


    I got a notification from my Microsoft authenticator app saying my email tried to login on Windows 10. I was not on my computer and it was off. I immediately went to the authenticator app and the option that came up was to select an option, three were numbers and the last option was to deny the request. I denied it and changed the password to my account.

    Im glad I had two step verification set up, but does this mean my password was stolen? It was a complicated random password, only used for microsoft. Symbols capitals you named it. I suppose ill change other account passwords that are important. This password was only stored on iCloud keychain.

    Edit: there have been boatloads of unsuccessful sign in attempts on my account this month in my account activity as well. All not me

    What they are really saying is : they stole the user database but we don't store passwords, we store password hashes ... emails will be added to all global spam lists though.
