Today I got an email, supposedly from Opera (no-reply@auth.opera.com). It tells me that they have noticed a new sign in to my Opera account (correctly named). It details Browser: Opera 109.0.0 OS: Windows 10 Location: Bournemouth, United Kingdom (approximated, based on the IP address).
My Browser is actually 109.0.5097.** and I am running Windows 11.
Is this likely to be a legitimate email? It also suggests updating my password, I can't find any way of doing this. What am I missing?

@corystes Unless you have disabled it in your Opera account settings, every time you login to your account, Opera will send you an email address to inform you about that.

So, based on your information, the email message seems to be legit.

@corystes If you don't recognize that access to your account, you can go to https://auth.opera.com/account/edit-profile and change your password.

You can also enable second factor authentication.

@corystes Its real, but go for Feedback to Google, with a printscrn of that email. I know that emailadres very wel, BTW...
They say, only react if you did something. If you don't recognize a action of yours, ignore this mail.
Feedback-option has better IT ppl then helpdesk, so sent FB with pic to Google.
I have that e-mail adres a few dozens times in my gmailacc

@swk058 What are you talking? Yes, this topic was moved from Opera for Windows area to Opera Account area, since it as about the account and not about the browser.

@leocg I sent mail back: IP is in Sweden, OPERA incl VPN. You (G) never have right OS/browser.
Finnallyt after 6 months i made them look not to bride..... So now i get all in swedisch. Like G doesn't know where i live, right. If Corystes has pincode to login Windows, makes it very easy.
Upgrade to win 11 is free, no?
I had 3 - 6 months very bigf fight with yt/G they started with the litterly same mssg: change you vpn to dynamisch, so every log-in other ip, or change weekly 1 yourself. If you tell them thats your opera/vpn ip, so Was enough for me: so you can chack yourself if its hackjed or not.
Duh.
