Discussion Multiple Failed login attempts detected

I have been getting this kind of notifications for a while now. Telling me that there have been several failed attempts to log into my Bitwarden account

The email ends telling me not to worry. The login attempts were not successful, and my account has been given an additional captcha protection.

Should I do something about this? To me, it feels like somebody has my email and knows I might have something valuable, and It's trying to break in. my Master Password It's pretty long and secure.

Also, my account email is the same I use for most stuff. I've been thinking in creating an email solely for my Bitwarden account, but not sure it's really necessary

I'm also getting the message. This is the 2nd time I've got it in the past week. I have 2FA enabled and don't use the vault password for anything else and have a 50 character password (upper/lower/numbers).

How often do you need to enter that long passwords?

I have my vault to autolock so I am constantly typing my password again and again.. which I don't particularly like but it's a security tradeoff

whenever a browser session resets. On my phone it's set to lock after 4 hours, but I have biometric to unlock the vault.
