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 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 -

@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.
