Why is there danger in the loop, exactly? I’ve never needed access to email to sign into my registrar (AWS) and change DNS records.

- dorfsmay 9y agoGet on a VPN and try to log from there... It'll ask you to verify your login by sending you a code via email (because it detected your login from a different country and classify it as "unusual activity".
- aianus 9y agoI’ve logged onto AWS from many different countries around the world and have never seen this. Maybe because I have 2FA enabled anyways?
- dorfsmay 9y agoCould because you have 2FA, or could because you have been login from different countries right from the start (hence considered "usual"). Another case where I have seen AWS login ask for verification is when email bounces, which is exactly the case discussed here. One thing you can do for DNS and your host provider for your mail server is use a separate gmail account that forwards to your normal domain. It's unlikely that you'd lose both your DNS / mail server AND access to that independent gmail account. I wish service provider for essential services allowed more than one email. A work around is to setup up more than one "root" account, each setup with a different email provider.
