Hi Joanne,

I can understand the frustration. You’ve made several changes at once, and these products do different jobs. The good news is that you don’t need to replace everything today.

The authenticator request is a normal part of setting up Coveron through your Nord account. An authenticator gives you a short, changing code when you sign in.…

Hi Janel,

Good move changing your Yahoo password. As for seeing the account twice, that’s likely just because it’s set up on both Apple Mail and the Yahoo Mail app, not necessarily a sign of a break-in. Same with the profile picture, an unfamiliar photo alone doesn’t mean someone got into your account.
