<p>When a user utilizes the new "reset password" &nbsp;a warning pops-up informing the user that the back-end noticed the change in security keys. &nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;This is an excellent alert</strong> and great functionality update.&nbsp;</p>
<p>With that said, &nbsp;I did the pop up alert even though <strong>I did personally</strong> provoke the action and reset my keys in the process. &nbsp;I could see this being a bit confusing to many users. &nbsp;Perhaps not early adopters but users less familiar with security concerns with crypto. &nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Here's my recommendation:</strong></p>
<p>Without adding a bunch of additional logic updates(tons of items on the plate i'm sure) that would cross reference the IP etc, changing the verbiage would be a nice improvement.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"If you recently reset your password at(timestamp in strftime, <em>example: &nbsp;Thu, 21 Jul 2016 02:39:19 PST</em>) this alert was most likely prompted by this action, otherwise your immediate attention is needed"&nbsp;</p>
