Hello, I just got email “Action required: Important notice of a potential data breach”. Do I need to do anything if I am using google log in?

[image] FordGuy61: Why am I locked out… same problem, but on synology NAS. Done all things above 4 times. Load up the local Plex media Server with stated “Plex web will try to connect to Plex account. This App was load from 192.168.2.128 and is not hosted on Plex.tv. Just go ahead if you know…

I’m running DSM 6.2.4-25556 Update 6 on my synology NAS
