...for example, the e-mail should say the IP address, the owner of the IP (based on a "whois" lookup) and the operating system that the user was on, and whether the login was successful or not. (The way that the message is worded, it sounds like the logins were successful, therefore, probably me! But this help article says that the feature is triggered for unsuccessful logins. Multiple unsuccessful logins should result in a message saying how many unsuccessful attempts there were.)

I think so.

I agree.

  • The IP address / location would be helpful. I'd like to verify the login attempts are not the result of something going wrong with one of my devices.
  • I'd like to understand whether the IP trying to login eventually got blocked. Or are they allowed to continue trying to brute force their way in to my account?

I agree that the number of attempts would be particularly useful, to distinguish between a serious attempt to crack and someone not sure if this was their account name.
