One username I use is very similar to a common name in another language. I
deal with an amazing amount of mistaken login/spam/account resets. I am
considering just changing my username as that would be easier. I am used to
spear-phishing stuff but the honest mistake emails are super annoying.
Several situations looked like people new to technology and just unsure of
their email/phone/other.

can someone explain what some child out there hopes to gain by
repeatedly failing to authenticate to okta in my accound name?
a couple of times a day, i have to take 40 seconds to unlock the
account the kiddie has triggered.  seems silly as they do not
have the 2fa.

it's -3c here, so i guess the clue level is going down as well
as the temp.
