Gmail Hacked

[RedViking]

Still not convinced it’s even hacked at all.

Should rather just be “Help me with Gmail”.

It needs to be catchy....

"I don't know how to use gmail, you won't believe what happened next"?

"I don't know how to use gmail, you won't believe what happened next"?

Now that's just damn irritating.

Click bait.

And you expect OP to understand what 2FA means.

OP : Reset your password and enable Two Stage Authentication.

Seems legit...

Seems legit...

2FA is the technical term for what Google chose to call Two Step Verification.

Two Factor Authentication

Time to move to 3FA

and when that fails we move on to 4FA.

I used the recovery procedure and updated my password. According to "howsafamI" site that measures passwords, my new one will take 16 Billion years to be deciphered.

Assuming today's technology... therein lies the point.

Lol, yes. And assuming that howsafeamI is not simply feeding passwords into a dictionary...
So people actually use the passwords after they feed them into howsafeamI? The mind boggles...
