Getting 2-step verification codes without Signing-in.

I’m sure you are aware that password hacking on email accounts is already an ordinary thing nowadays. That’s why you need to make it a habit to change your password at least every month or maybe once every 2 months to make sure your account is secured. I myself am a victim of password hacking with my Yahoo! account.

I have several Yahoo! accounts before and I make sure to log in to each account [the ones I rarely used] at least once a month to keep them active. One thing I noticed with my other account was the user activity. I noticed that my account has login history from one country instead of only my country which is unusual since I’m not using and I don’t remember using any VPN that time.

The person who used my account logged in twice in different occasions. Since I have several email accounts, I decided to just delete that account so it can’t be used again and before I delete the account I changed its password so there is no way it can be recovered by the hacker.

If you received mobile notifications though you haven’t logged in to your email account, you should change your password to secure your account. The verification codes you received means there is someone who is trying to login to your email account but failed. Before the hacker can uncover your password, change your password immediately.
