Oh is that what it was ๐
There's an account that I haven't used in years, which gets a "Are you trying to log in?" email every few months.
I got 6 emails at once the other day, figured it was the same junk
I was wondering about that, because I got a several over the course of a few days. I finally limited it to prohibit any lost password requests from unknown devices just to get it to stfu. I don't even use IG anymore, anyway.
