View Full Version : have to ask abt this
hey,so not sure where to post this but. i was playing AL earlier,suddenly i started reconnecting then dced. somthing poped up asking for username and password with a message like ''sign in to secure your connection'' but i ofc didnt trust it since i know sts wouldnt ask for it, so i reloaded the game then it worked. question is did anybody have this before? been playing the game for 4 years and never encounterd this. ty

Check for these :
- Was that popup even connected to AL ?
- Did you install any programs from anywhere besides a place thats owned by sts that could be connected to AL ?
( A phishing app that drops your connection and tries to fool you into trying to reconnect through it ? )
- Perhaps your routers setup page opened ? usually they look similar to what you described . Mine sometimes pops up randomly .
- Someone messing with your network with mitm ... do you get random security issues/redirects when browsing ?
Thats all i can think of besides it being a random popup from something you installed . Anyways , causing a dc and then making the user re-type the login info is a popular way to steal passwords so watch out .

This is normal for me. It asks if you are logged into more than 1 gmail accounts , it can ask you to log in to chrome and connect you to AL.
I assume you use sts email which does not ask for the details again. I think you accidentally misc licked and was asked to sign in through chrome.

Yeah that happens alot ^^ you could have simply miss clicked on the login screen . But i amuse it would happen more often than once in 4 years ....

The window that poped up was small and in a rectuanglar shape it didnt have to do with chrome or sts which is why i got really curious.

You really should use and click only the AL icon (assuming you already entered your email and password
To avoid those kinds of confusion.
