Has it ever happened that you keep getting reset password emails even without asking for it? We tend to ignore such emails when we receive them once or twice. But, when you get it frequently, you feel suspicious and disturbed. I have been through that situation too.
You could receive such links when someone is trying to hack into your account. So, it is extremely important to secure your account. However, there can be other instances that might not be as serious as we think. Sometimes, it can be a simple email typo from other users while resetting passwords.
So, from this article, find out the various reasons why you keep getting reset password emails.
Why Do I Keep Getting Password Reset Emails?
We get reset password emails when we request it for various privacy reasons. The most common way to recover a password is from email. Similarly, in case you have forgotten your password, you need a reset link to change your password. So, you receive reset emails during such instances.
As I have mentioned earlier, we receive reset emails only when we seek to change our security settings. But, it is a serious matter if you keep getting it repetitively. So, find out the various reasons below.
Someone’s Trying to Hack
You get password reset emails when someone clicks on the forgot password button with the intention of hacking your account. Moreover, the app is trying to notify you that someone is attempting to log in to your account.
I have faced such instances on my Instagram account. I frequently received trouble logging in email with the login and reset your password button. So, I request you to please refrain from clicking on either option for your account safety.
Username or Email Typo
Hacking accounts might not be the only case you get reset emails. Some instances can be a simple typo in your account username or email. If someone has mistakenly typed your name while logging in or resetting emails, you will receive such emails. However, until and unless you don’t select the login or reset option, your account is safe.
Phishing emails could be another reason why you are receiving password reset emails. It is sent to users to steal their personal data. So, don’t respond or tap on any links to protect your account. I request you to strictly refrain from entering your password or any confidential information. Please immediately report it.
