Hi this morning I went and logged into facebook and got a message saying Your account is temporarily locked. I clicked next and it said.

Was this you?

I clicked log out and not used it since as don't no if it true email. It also says on an other email in my email that its using windows XP.

Is this legit and safe to change password using facebook.

thanks.

yes it's legit, either an unknown location or 3 login attemtps and you'll get an email.

Best thing to do is to go to facebook site directly, login, change your password to something really secure and then turn on 2 step authentication.

Yep had this too - from Ukraine as well if I remember rightly at some early hour of the morning. Woke up to an email notification.

Did exactly as mentioned above - changed password directly from the site and turned on 2FA.
