I'm not sure what's going on, but I've been receiving one-time passwords (OTPs) for Spotify and Amazon on my WhatsApp. I didn't think much of the Spotify OTP yesterday and ignored it, but now the Amazon one has me worried since I don't even use those services with my current phone number. I primarily shop using a different number. Is this a sign that something's wrong? How can I figure out what's happening?

First off, just take a deep breath! It's understandable to feel concerned. Those OTPs usually mean someone might be trying to access accounts associated with your number. I suggest checking your accounts to ensure they're secure. Also, if you can, share some more details about what you’ve been experiencing, maybe some screenshots that don’t reveal any sensitive info would help.
A password manager could really help in this situation. Consider using something like KeePass or 1Password to manage all your passwords securely. It’s also a good idea to reset your passwords, especially if you're using the same one across multiple accounts. This will make it harder for anyone to access your other accounts if one gets compromised.
Got it! So I should change all my passwords, right? Or is it enough to just sign out from my devices?
Thanks, I'll gather more info and check my accounts. Just trying to be safe!
