Is anyone else getting random one time pin notifications? I’ve had about 6 sent
at times when i have not tried to log in to my account so far……. Not sure if
this is happening to everyone or just me?

I've never had one. What details are they asking for?

If you are not trying to log in and get a message about logging in then either
someone is trying to access your account and cannot, or they are spoofs to get
you to give away login details.

I just generated one. Were you trying to change anything in your store?

It happened to me this morning; and to yorbrick's point, I was adding inventory
to my perpetually closed store at the time. The PIN request was quite the surprise,
but not especially annoying. Hackers vs the civilized. Like most things BrickLink,
in time we'll not give it a moment's thought.

I actually have to turn it off as both my wife and i are on separate devices
using the same account which leads to constant pin generations.

Huh, maybe it would work. I didn't have the patience to find out.
