\ud83d\udca1 Why did I get a suspicious login alert?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Our security system flagged that someone tried to log in to your Accountable account using your usual password. In the vast majority of cases, this doesn’t mean Accountable itself was hacked, it means your email and password appeared in a data leak from another website (a forum, an online shop, or another service you use), and someone tried that same combination on Accountable’s login page. If you reuse that password elsewhere, those other accounts are exposed too.<\/p>\n
