New Sign In and Passkey Notification… But Then Nothing…
I was watching YouTube this morning, when I saw a Google Prompt YouTube Notification pop up that said my Google account had been signed into on a new device (an iPad I was unfamiliar with). Then I got another notification that said a passkey had been created.
I instantly jumped into action, tapped both notifications, but YouTube might’ve glitched, because it did not take me to a new screen after tapping both notifications (since I was already in the app maybe?) then I went to my Google account settings and saw… nothing… That’s right, no new passkeys, no new sign in’s and no evidence of the notifications I just received.
Regardless, I changed my password, I signed out of all devices, downloaded the Authenticator app, setup backup codes, turned on 2 step verification, the whole nine yards.
After doing this, I went back in to see if I could find ANY evidence at all of this sign in and passkey (checked other devices used, history, I only have one passkey that I created) and couldn’t find ANYTHING. Of course, I clicked the notifications expecting to be redirected to a “was this you?” page, but that never happened. I checked my email to see if there was any sign in alerts sent to my recovery email. Nothing.
What the heck happened? Is my account compromised? Any advice for me? Anything is helpful.
