What security alerts will I get?
Account & SecurityLast reviewed Oct 8, 2026
When you sign in with a password from a new IP address, we send you an email and an in-app notice. If it wasn't you, change your password straight away and sign out everywhere else.
We also email you when your password is changed. Security emails can't be turned off.
Signing in from a new browser or device on a network we already know does not send an alert, so check your device list now and then.
