    Hello, I have been receiving an e-mail from Interia several times a day for 2 weeks: "We have received a request to reset your Facebook password.
    Enter the following password reset code:
    01780770
    You can also change your password directly.
    Change Password
    You didn't ask for this change?
    If you have not requested a new password, please let us know.

    At your request, this message was sent to lysiczka(_at_)interia.pl.
    Facebook Ireland Ltd., Attention: Community Operations, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland"


    The link let us know about it is correct, but I don't really know what it's about...
    Please help, this is quite annoying.

    I separated it as a new topic. Don't link to other people's threads (even archived ones). RADU23

    Someone is trying to reset your Facebook password. I would advise notifying about it as they write.

    Thank you very much, that's what I did, and that's what I always do when I get it. I have set up double verification, but I still receive emails and Facebook does not contact me about it. There is no way to report this anywhere, there is no support for this type of reports. Does the person who wants to hack my account know my email address? This is the first time I have had such a situation... I receive 5-6 e-mails a day.

    It looks like it knows your email address or phone number. Try changing your email address. And you can check here whether your address has not been leaked somewhere

    I checked, it turns out that it's somewhere in one place... I started 2-step login on Facebook and for now there's silence from Facebook. Now I receive an email about an attempt to change my password... Just for a change... Could it be a private person? It's strange that first Facebook and then the Internet account...

    what do you get from interia? notifications that someone wants to reset your password on the internet? so I suggest changing your password to difficult con. 10 characters, including lowercase and uppercase letters, Polish letters, numbers, special characters and spaces - some may be prohibited.
    And of course, the most important thing is that the password is different everywhere and that it is not similar. If you have problems with saving or remembering them, I recommend keepass https://keepass.info/

    Well, someone's mad at you. If you have a difficult password, it probably won't do anything to you. However, I don't know what you can do about these notifications or rather trying to guess it. Over time he should get bored and give up. And, as I wrote, you can also change your e-mail address - depending on how big you have it. You should have several addresses. One for important things, personal, private, the second for less important things such as shops, portals, and the third for e.g. rubbish such as forums, competitions, wherever you want for a while - more or less of course

    Only this is:

    A paste is information that has been published on a website aimed at the public designed to share content and is often an early indicator of a data breach. Pastes are automatically imported and often deleted shortly after being sent. Using the 1Password password manager helps ensure that all passwords are strong and unique, so that a breach of one service does not compromise other services.
