Google asking to change password

MouthBoy · 10 Sep 2020 at 10:33

Hi all,

Woke up this morning to my phone and tablet saying that I needed to change my Google password. It said that someone had learnt my password and for protection it forced me to change. This was the phone OS and not an email, although there were emails about it too.

Any one has this before? It all seems legit but never had it before so thought I'd ask. Naturally I will be changing all my passwords today.

Thanks

Just don't follow any links, and go to the website yourself and update

This.

Phishing scams are getting better, so do it via the website direct, don’t use any link.

Yea I did open the YouTube app to test and it was asking me to change password too. It was the phone asking me to update, not an email. If this was a phishing scam it's a well baked one.
