Ubisoft account - suspicious activity email

[wunkley]

received 2 identical emails this morning, start of which is copied below.

Anyone else had this? never had one from Ubisoft before. My radar is up as I just assume everything is a scam these days.

Cheers folks. Did some careful digging and it was legit. Have had this happen to my steam account before so looks like some ****** was trying to do something naughty. Will look at setting up 2FA for uplay now...

EDIT - Setting up 2FA for uplay looks a right pain, have to download an app and all sorts of gubbins. Does everyone else bother to do this for uplay? I've done it for steam but that was very easy.
