Help:Login notifications/sv

Hej! Är du här eftersom du fick ett meddelande om ett inloggningsförsök till ditt konto? Oroa dig inte! Ditt konto är nog fortfarande säkert.

Varför fick jag meddelandet?
Du fick ett meddelande eftersom någon försökte (och misslyckades) att logga in på ditt konto. Om inloggningsförsöket var på en enhet eller från en webbläsare som du inte har använt förut, får du ett meddelande efter det första försöket. Om det var från en känd enhet eller webbläsare får du meddelandet efter fem försök.

Meddelandet genererades av LoginNotify, som introducerades 2017.

Vad borde jag göra?
Du borde ha ett starkt och unikt lösenord för ditt konto. Om du inte tror att du har det, ändra så snart som möjligt. En studie på läckta lösenord visar att nästan 17 % av tio miljoner användare hade "123456" som lösenord. Var inte en av dem.

Det kan också vara en bra idé att koppla en mejladress till ditt konto om du skulle förlora tillgång till det och vilja kunna logga in igen. Du kan ställa in en mejladress i inställningarna.

Hur fungerar den här funktionen?
The extension keeps track of known devices (browsers really) by placing a cookie in the browser. This cookie automatically expires in 180 days. If a failed login attempt happens from a new browser, it generates an Echo notification alerting the user about the login attempt. The other way that we identify known devices is by checking the current IP address subnet against the IP addresses that have been used recently (as stored in a temporary server cache). None of the information is stored in a database and at no point is any private information revealed publicly, including the attacker’s IP address/location. The WMF Legal and Security teams have reviewed the implementation for both compliance with our Privacy Policy and security considerations.

For known devices/IPs, we allow up to 5 login attempts before alerting the user about the login attempt, since it's fairly common to mistype or forget a password. If there are 5 or more failed attempts, the notification will say: "There have been 5 failed attempts to log in to your account since the last time you logged in. If this wasn't you, please make sure your account has a strong password." There would be another notification at 10 attempts, 15 attempts and so on.

For unknown devices/IPs, we alert on every failed attempt. The extension bundles these notifications to avoid spamming users with too many notifications. For example, if there are 3 failed attempts from an unknown device, there will be a single notification, which says: "There have been 3 failed attempts to log in to your account from a new device since the last time you logged in. If this wasn't you, please make sure your account has a strong password." On further attempts, that notification would update to say "4 failed attempts," "5 failed attempts", and so on.

Things to note
There are two ways for users to get these notifications – either by web Echo notifications or by email. By default, the web notifications are on for everyone and email ones are turned off. This is configurable in the notification preferences.

This extension does not give you notifications when somebody successfully logs into your account from an unknown device or IP. It is technically possible to generate those, but if somebody else has logged in, they could just as easily see those notifications and do a password reset (which the notification encourages you to do). The ideal way to handle this is to issue email notifications for this case, but since most Wikipedia accounts do not have emails associated with them, this wouldn't be useful to majority of the users. So for the time being, we have settled for not issuing these notifications.
