Did I get that unlucky and get assigned a bad IP?

Its mobile data btw.

And I don’t wanna point fingers and blame Proton, but like… c’mon,

First of all, its a real IP address,

Second, even if it were a VPN, so what, your company literally runs a VPN lol, kinda ironic.

And its also a paid account, and I rarely (almost never) send outgoing emails.

But again, this is just a small annoyance, I generated a new password in Keepass and its seems fixed.

    1. 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.
