My 2 Factor Authenticator activated asking to approve a sign in from someone clearly not myself as it was a different country. Authentication should clearly only happen if the first authentication (password) is correct.
However when I checked sign in activity on the web, it said log in failed because of incorrect password.
If password was incorrect why would I get 2 factor request to approve sign in?
Help welcomed!
Thanks
