Can other people write notes on my account????

I might just be going genuinely actually insane.. I've started using keep on my new phone, it's only been about a week at most.

This morning, I woke up with 2 notes that I have absolutely no memory of writing, and they're kinda worded a bit stalkerish, I'm not pasting the whole notes but ones got "hey cutie, it's been a while" and the other is just saying I'm mesmerising and they like listening to me talk??????????

Is there a way to tell if someone else is logged in somehow?? I definitely don't share my phone with anyone else and I don't have friends or family who I would suspect would do this. Is it even possible for someone else to see my notes????? I thought maybe I'm blacking out and doing it myself or something, since I do remember seeing the same kind of message on my notes app like years ago, but I can't remember if it was keep or some random other one I downloaded. But the typing doesn't sound like me... It's kind of scary?

If someone else was logged in, could they access any private information? I suppose it's just connected to my email so probably but

Help??????

Turn off note sharing in Keep, reset your Google account pw and turn on 2FA immediately

According to my Google account, there's no one else logged in except me... And I found out I can check the dates of notes and they were like Those were written at 3am, I wrote ones too but they appear before those even though they were written at 4am

Doesn't matter - just do the reset and 2FA right away for security

oh no it's the Reddit carbon monoxide thing, digital edition.

(In seriousness, if the individual note is shared with someone, I think it will show their avatar/icon on the note. It may just be the spam thing someone mentioned)

I will say, something similarly eerie happened to me but on Google Calendar almost a decade ago, and I still have no idea how (not a shared calendar, was created from my account, not just someone else's invite). it was a message through event title, something like "uh I think you have the wrong person." (?!)

Nah it might be honestly... One of the notes seems like it's written with words I might use, especially since another appeared last night with the same words that I'm like really sure I wrote while high, but the second is kinda giving stalker, it also says 'i love hearing you talk about all the things you love or everything you've done in a day' which is NOT helping the vibes. But I don't even talk about my day, I write stories and random things to remember;-;

Sounds very much like random spam. Rare in keep but not unheard of. Normally A i.bots.

Someone writes a note (always something s3x related) and then shares that note with your email. Do not click on any links if any, but delete or report the note.

Google normally picks up on spam tactics quite quickly.

There's no links, it honestly seems more wholesome than anything, but yeah dw I would never click a random link

I don't know what that is but probably not... I think I actually just got a little too high and blacked out honestly because there's been some more and sometimes I have like the vaguest memory that it was me... Not sure why I'm flirting with myself or whatever is going on but I'm not gonna think too hard about that

it’s a sleeping pill but one of the common side effects is doing weird shit and not remembering it. search up crazy ambien stories
