  1. Solved Strange message from Brave/Windows Security

    Ah thanks @andrew129260 yes indeed I had an amazon login tab open. I use horizontal (Oops vertical) tabs in Brave and it was hiding in a closed tab group. (y) Thanks again. Dez
  2. Solved Strange message from Brave/Windows Security

    I'm sorry but I don't understand your comment. If it's normal then why has it just started happening recently? Why should Brave/Windows Security ask me to sign in to "amazon.co.uk" whenever brave starts up when I haven't tried to log into amazon?
  3. Solved Strange message from Brave/Windows Security

    I've been using Brave Beta for quite a while, but just recently whenever it launches I get this security message. I normally sign into Amazon using a YubiKey with a security key pin and this works just fine. But, if I follow the above prompt nothing happens. Anyone else experiencing this...

  5. Solved Microsoft Account Security (Windows 11 Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.4037)

    Thanks @Ghot. I did wonder if it was aimed at my particular MS account. The replies that I've had here have put my mind at ease. I have a few MS accounts and only one was subject to probing. When I checked, this was the only e-mail address that had been exposed in known data breaches. The...

    Thanks @antspants. I use similar authentication methods. I use Microsoft Authenticator with the added security of having to use fingerprint verification on my phone. Dez

    Thanks for the advice @echo2446. I've played around with Firefox Relay and DuckDuckGo in the past. I'll have a closer look when I have some time. (y) Dez
  8. Solved Microsoft Account Security (Windows 11 Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.4037)

    Thanks garlin for the reassurance. I suppose if my e-mail address has been leaked and is out in the wild then I should expect attempts to compromise it. I hadn't considered your explanation of bots probing accounts and yes I too have seen unsuccessful password reset requests. Phew!. I'd thought...

    Hi thanks for the quick response. That's set my mind at rest. I think I've got the strongest security set up that I can have. So no more sleepless nights for me. :D Dez
  10. Solved Microsoft Account Security (Windows 11 Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.4037)

    Hi everybody, A first time poster here, but I have been browsing these forums for some time and enjoying the brilliant tutorials that Brink posts. My question is about the security of my Microsoft Account. Whenever I visit my account online and check when and where I've used my account, there...
