    Failed login attempts for Email

    Someone has been attempting to get into my Email all day. I have received at least 20 alerts to my phone.

    I have a solid password and have 2 step verification via test message.

    Do i have to worry about them getting in there?

    Is there anything else I should do.

    Thank you.

    Had someone try to log into my email from Russia about 3 weeks ago. Oddest thing. Never happened before until then.

    I changed my password just in case.

    I changed password as well.

    How could you tell where they were trying from?

    I should be safe with 2 step?
    They keep attempting every 20 minutes. Good to have the alert, but it is getting annoying.

    If you have gmail.... google will let you know the area in which someone attempted.
