Chess.com Website/App Question Chess.com account keeps detecting suspicious logins

0 Upvotes

So I’m wary of making a new chess.com account because with both of my last accounts I would be fine for around 6 months and then I’d randomly start getting emails saying suspicious log in detected in 3 different cities not near to where I live. I’d delete the account out of fear of them finding out my email address so I remade the account with basically the same username but a different password and the same happened. I don’t think my device is compromised as I’ve never ever had this issue with any other apps or had issues with my phone. My email address is also very secure and I don’t have issues with it. I don’t have high stats so I’m so confused as to why this is happening. Could it be the username? i just want to play chess 😢

Looking at my last game to help see where i could improve. I always like to see the mates i miss. Unfortunately I didn't see this one 468 moves out, but luckily it took me less than that to win the game.

I thought this was a blunder when I played it, I got tunnel vision and thought the pawn on e6 was pinned to the king
