Comment on My IP address is apparantly suspicious? What? (Real IP, not a VPN)

- You are using some other VPN and they force you to do a password reset.
- Outcome - you’re a bit annoyed, but ultimately your mail account is safe.
Yeah, make sense, this is exactly what mildlyinfuriating is lol, not something that ruins your life, just a slight annoyance that might or might not be anyone’s fault, just unfortunate circumstances of the world (the unfortunate circumstance of the fact that fraudsters and hackers exist)

Ya, I just find that the mildly infuriating things can be less so by knowing why they are happening. As someone who regularly resets user passwords professionally (not for Proton), I figured I could give some insight into why this happens.
