Let me make this more clear for you.... I recently downloaded the palringo app....that comes from palringo....I got a message from my server that says an ip address in the UK has been searching through my accounts. So I tracked them down, and it went straight to palringo. The application stole my account info

@nikko1000
Actually your explanation isn't very clear.

"searching through my accounts"? What does this mean? And what accounts: accounts of IMs that you have connected to your Palringo account?

- ok maybe you don't get this...
1. I downloaded palringo on my android phone
2. I got a message saying that i can't log in on the app
3. I went online, and i got a message from my email, saying that there is suspicious activity on several accounts, coming from 1 ip address
4. I looked up the IP address, it went straight to palringo
5. I posted this up, and complained multiple times, and looked up other people having the same problem.

So what happens when you try to log into palringo via there desktop app?
You said you were able to check your email - so does this mean your IM accounts that palringo uses are still working?

You didn't answer most of my questions, but nevermind...
Why is it so weird and suspicious to you, that there were connections from Palringo IP, if this is exactly what Palringo should do?

you're still not getting this - they showed that they logged in with their ip address, and changed information on mine, without permission, obviously meaning that they logged in, with the info that was given to them

they showed obvious proof that they were trying to change my password, so i had to recover it through my cellphone

Yeah, but this is how Palringo works - it connects to services from Palringo servers. So if e.g. someone guessed your Palringo password, then he got access to all your connected accounts and all connections were from Palringo IP.
I mean: that may not be a guy from Palringo, but anyone who got access to your Palringo account.

this is not a random person, my password is practically un-guessable.... its a 20 letter code.... example : XAO352Fs3934HOe93kdj..... and who would have access to my account? i don't share my password, or my cellphone

1. WHICH Account? Do you mean just your palringo account, or all the IM accounts you are using with it?
Here is my guess of what's happened.
You installed Palringo on your Android device, started up and everything looks normal.
Now ONE (or maybe more?) or your IM accounts is indicating there was some weird activity.
You went to whatever IM account and noticed a bunch of connections from the palringo servers. (This is OK and actually not a problem - as that's how the palringo service works)
Thus - your handheld is probably logging you out and logging you in again over and over - which causes your IM service to think there is a problem when there is not. Either your 3G is going off or your wifi is going off - prolly when you put your phone in standby.

that is probably what happened.... but how do you explain the fact that my password was changed on facebook, and gmail?

Good question. It *does* sound like you hacked somehow - but I seriously doubt that anyone at palringo had anything to do with it.
Either someone got your palringo username/password and then changed your passwords to gmail and facebook via that (if you even can) - or you were hacked some other way.
I would take a close look at your home computer (or any other machines you've used lately) and make sure you have no virus / trogans / mailware etc on those because odds are that's actually where the hack happened.
Have you had any luck recovering your facebook and gmail accounts? What a bummer I know how bad that sucks.

So, IP addresses usually point to ISP s... How did you track and identify this organization or individual?

Recover Amazon Credentials

So I have a few throwaway Gmail accounts and can't remember which one I used to sign up for Amazon Marketplace on my Android device. From within the app it will only tell me my name, not the email address that was used.
I can back the marketplace up with TB and restore after a full wipe and the credentials are also restored so I was wondering if anyone is aware of any way I can use sqlite to recover the user name or email address.
I can see the locker DB contents but it doesn't seem apparent where the credentials are stored, at least not to me.
Any help out there?

That's a lot of effort. Go to the Amazon.com web-page. Go to 'Sign In'. Then press on 'Forgot my password'. Keep entering your email addresses until it accepts one of them - bingo

Good plan except the computer that had my throw away Gmail addresses cached died and I have no other record of them. If I can't find the email address I'm stuffed. If I can then I will be sweet because I used the same password on all my throw away email accounts.
See my dilemma?

I'd suggest contacting Amazon and explaining your problem to them. With enough of your other personal details they should be able to supply to email address you used simply enough.

Where does Android store email password?

Hello
I'm using LG Optimus Black 4.0.4 - stock rom, rooted.
I want to transfer my company email account from default email application to K-9 email app. But i dont remember the password. Is there any location that we can see the password? I've found wi-fi passwords as plain text. I hope I can read email password too.

Why not reset the password (or click on 'Forgot Password')?
That way you can create a new password, and log in using that. :good:

Of course I understood you mate. You want to use K-9 email app to manage your company email account, right? But you don't remember it's password. So, the easiest way is to reset the password and set a new one. Then you can enter the new one in the K-9 app and login! Simple. :good:

XDA gets very suspicious when someone new signs up to the forum and their first question is about something that could easily be used to obtain hidden information that you shouldn't do.
How do we know that you are not trying to access someone else's email password without their permission?
If this is, truly, for your own work email then just ask the IT department to reset your password - but it is highly doubtful you have really forgotten your work password and sounds dodgy.

I had a similar problem as well. My email password could not be changed, there was no way to recover the password through the provider, and the workaround would have been to wait a few months for the account to be deleted and then reregister. Thankfully, I found the solution with a little googling.
Browse to /data/user/0/com.android.email/databases and copy EmailProvider.db to your computer. Other phones might have their database in a different location. Download and install Sqlite Database Browser from sourceforge.net if you haven't, and then skip down to the sqlitebrowser instructions here:
http://ubuntu42.blogspot.com/2011/11/android-recover-mail-password.html

Decrypt the password
On samsung phones, the passwords in /data/user/0/com.android.email/databases/EmailProvider.db are encrypted. You will need to use the 'samsung-password' decryption tool: lovasoa.github.io/samsung-email-password-decrypt/

O STF up do you know how many emails i have? No But i'll tell you 2 personal 3 for work a spam and 2 for shopping not everyone likes using one or two emails for 700 things. you know how hard it can be at times to remember passwords... tell me haven't forgotten a password and wish you could just recover it without having to fight to reset it. sometimes it's not as simple as yahoo where you don't even have to be the owner of the ****ing email to to reset it. Not only that but again he has it on his old phone trying to put it on his new phone or switch apps to something simpler... i'm with him i have about 4 phones with emails on them i don't even remember making... so NO actually he sounds like a legit worker that is tyring not to a piss off the I.T. guys by giving them more **** tastic jobs that we just loving doing. because it's not like we don't have More pressing matters to attended to like fixing your printer that people like to over cram so they have to refill it less often. or constantly keeping you in work by repairing your computers that crash on you well you are doing graphs and slide shows. we would love to stop all that to reset your password you should have put in a secure place to begin with.

Who changed the Vivo first password?!?

Somebody must of changed the public account password as it says it is not correct. This is ridiculous that I can't enable a service without a password. Anyone else having this problem?

I sent a message via Facebook and they fixed it. That was fast.

Make your own account. I think using a public account is not safe. I was able to make my own account using a SMS verification service online (https://onlinesim.ru/en). You'll have to buy "credits" (i purchased 51 credits for a buck or so) to use a china based number (i used the "telegram" verification option and had a verification number pretty quick). Once you get an account bind your personal email and set up a password. Hope this was helpful.

Hey you were kind enough to help me get an account set up last week. I had to reset my phone and I am able to log into my Vivo account again using my email and password that I linked to it. The phone then asks you to request a code again through your phone number. I was hoping that would be forwarded to my email but I guess not as I don't receive any codes within the one-minute time frame. Any ideas?

How to recover your Google Account or Gmail - Google Account Help
If you forgot your password or username, or you can’t get verification codes, follow these steps to recover your Google Account. That way, you can use services like Gmail, Photos, and Google Play.
support.google.com

You should have a phone number and another email account associated with your Google account. You risk completely and permanently losing access otherwise.
These accounts seldom get hacked if you have a very strong password that you change periodically, but it's not 100% hack proof.
Experience has taught me never to use verification Qs, the devil is in the details.
One missed letter in any of the brain picking Q responses can bone you hard.
Lol, do you really want Google to know your mother's maiden name? NO.
I lost a Gmail account over a decade ago due to hackers along with thousands of other Gmail users. It can happen... cover your assets
