Do you have a desktop client that could have been compromised? I'd love a follow-up on how your account got flagged if it wasn't compromised. (Note, I ask because the last time this happened on HN, several people errantly thought they had 2FA turned on when they didn't). (Some days I wonder if I angered a stalker who downvotes everything I post... or if it's some darker HN sign. Sigh)

Yeah, I have no clue how it got flagged. See my update above.

And yeah, I had 2FA on -- I was challenged appropriately logging in to GMail even, it was post-login where I got the "you're bad" page.
