I just got an e-mail with that title. I'm afraid to open it, thinking it may be some sort of scam or trojan. Has anyone else received this?

It is legit. They just want you to check that the keys attached to your account were the ones you added.

I received it too. It appears legit. But for me it claims to be merely informative

Thanks guys! Maybe I'm paranoid but it's good to be careful.

If it were nobody-knows-what-kind of pishing it would claim for a reply or account pass in every mail they sent. And it appears not to be the case.I think like you and stay alert the first time I do receive a new kind of mail like this. ItÃ‚Â´s healthy...

Greetings!
