If you changed your password but are still getting 2FA login attempt, it could be because you used the _same_ password that you used for another system, and _that_ password has been compromised. ---

Can you explain what you mean by “someone got in” what do you mean? What tells you someone accessed your camera? ---

well i didn’t change my password, and as far as i know- my dog can’t use a phone. so someone LOGGED in got in- whatever and my password was changed. i didn’t change it. no one has access to my phone. ---

I do understand that. Wyze can track when your password was changed via logs, I imagine they can even track where it was changed from. I would open a support request with Wyze directly, this is a user forum and we don’t work for Wyze so we are limited in what we can do to assist you in these cases. Submit a Support Request [https://support.wyzecam.com/hc/en-us/requests/new](https://support.wyzecam.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) I am sure support can better assist you, I wish you good fortune. ---

You should always be aware of the risks in technology. Use a Password Manager and Generator. Use 2FA if possible, preferably NOT via SMS. Best if via an Authentication App. Or even better a hardware key. Unfortunately some manufacturers like Wyze have not yet implemented 2FA on anything except SMS. But I am hopeful they will. Biggest single step you can take is password management. NEVER reuse a password, NEVER share a password, ALWAYS use strong passwords and 2FA if available. ---
