It seems my account has had many unsuccessful attempts from China, Brazil, United States and even someone who attempted an automatic sync a few times from Germany. Is there no way to report or block these attempts?? --Even Google has a "This was Me" option.
Feels a bit ridiculous that we just have to sit on our hands whilst hackers try various attempts to access our accounts, regardless of password changes or two factor auth. If two factor auth is active, it shouldn't even show me the email request.
This whole thing just causes an unnecessary amount of anxiety.
