Well, that's annoying...

Someone in Mexico apparently tried to hack my gmail account, and was stopped from logging on - since it was a VERY arbitrary string of letters and numbers that isn't easily associated with me (the college's code for a technician's course I took 30+ years ago) they must have used some sort of password generator software to get that far.

Hopefully the new password won't fail quite so easily, it's twice as long and even more arbitrary. Just hope I can remember it.

Looks like it. Or maybe it was preceded by a lot of wrong tries.

You see, I thought you only got three attempts and then they locked you out for a while. So would a random password generator work?

No idea - maybe the attempted log-in was enough. It may have been some sort of attempt to trick gmail into thinking the password was already received.
