Boah, fuck Google, ey.
Critical security alert! Someone used your password to log in, but Google has blocked it.
Yes, and Google has fucked me off by blocking it. (I don’t have the work Android thingy at hand.) Now what’s so critical about that… grml…
@mirabilos
Same for Microsoft… and all of them really!
The very dangerous intrusion attempt that they are preventing is me in 100% cases.
The only time I got a meaningful alert of this kind was from EverNote — my account had a very simple password, but it remained dormant for at least a decade. And I used this as a reminder to delete it completely.
@m0xee yeah, RocketChat also explodes every time it logs me out and I have to log in again… sigh

For me it's MS — as outlook.com has an easy way to use SMTP, I use it in different scripts to send notifications which should work even when other machines on my home network are down. And every time I'm stupid enough to use TOR for a browser that is logged into my MS account I have to go through this: change the password six times to reset it back to the old one, generate new unique passwords for legacy software — these ones are used to connect to SMTP…
@mirabilos
…and update .netrc or scripts themselves on different machines. I hate it! Nearly an hour of time completely wasted on this nonesense 😩
But as this doesn't happen often enough, I'm still too lazy to automate it or look for a different email provider to do this — still, every time a major frustration!
