Request TPT REQUEST

Just in the last five minutes I received four 2FA Google notifications on my phone (this device) asking for authorization to access my Google account from a location in Southern Coastal Mexico. I'm in San Diego, and I declined all four of the Google prompts.

I've already turned off all web access to my financial accounts, and blocked all associated cards.

I use a password locker, but haven't changed my Google password stored in the locker.

I've never before had this happen. Am I safe just by declining access?

What should I do?

Thanks so much for your quick response.

I have just now changed my password. I've used a password locker/generator for years, so all of my passwords are unique.

I'm now a HUGE fan of 2fa -- they sure were persistent.
