Login Problem in Chrome

[Climb0r]

Hello everyone,

 

first a little disclaimer: I´m completely new to the forum an have got no experience with forums of any kind, so it´s very likely that I´m making some stupid mistake and upset everyone just because I don´t know how u guys handle stuff here. So apologies in advance ! 

 

I  have got a huge problem! Today I tried to log in to several of my online accounts (including my bank, Amazon, Youtube, mail, Ebay and Facebook account) and it didn´t work. I always got the same answer from every website that I tried to log into: "password invalid/password wrong".

I used Chrome and I´m 1000% certain that I typed in the correct passwords and I know for sure that capslock wasn´t enabled! 

After restarting the system the problem seems to be fixed, but I´m afraid that my problem was somehow virus related because I installed a bunch of new (mostly freeware) programs today....

And now I´m afraid that s.o. stole all my passwords....

Has anyone got some kind of alternative explanation why my browser behaved that strange ?

Thank you in advance for answering  

 

P.S.: Sorry for all the typos

is it a problem with just chrome or with other browsers too?

This problem also occured in MS Edge.

For better or for worse, the most likely cause is that you were typing your password wrong or using one for another site.

 

You can always try a virus scan just in case. I'd recommend Avast! and malwarebytes

I already ran two virus scans, one via kaspersky and one with malwarebytes, both didn´t find anything! And like I said, I definitely used the right email/username and the right password. I even typed it into a word document and copied it form there to be absolutely sure !

Maybe you pressed Windows key + Space ? By pressing it, your keyboard layout will be changed (if you have more than one installed).

 

Edit

Don't forget to change  your passwords, I always do it when I'm not sure.

PS: you can check for unusual logins @ https://myaccount.google.com/security

That is actually very likely  I played CS:GO on one of my monitors while the problem occurred, and sometimes CS changes my keyboardlayout to the US version...

I changed all my passwords anyway and there are no unusual activities in any of my accounts so assume everything is fine by now ^^ 

Thank you very much for your answer
