Location Information
When I signed in after my update, the "Let's make sure this was you" email I received shows my approximate location as Columbus, Ohio. This is incorrect. I am in Huntsville, Alabama. Why is this info wrong, and how can I correct it?

Hmm, that is strange. I assume the "approximate location" was based on your IP address, which usually is set by your home/office internet service provider. Website operators can look up the location of an IP address in a variety of databases. Here are a couple sites to compare:
- https://nordvpn.com/what-is-my-ip/ (ignore the promotion for a VPN, which will change your IP address)
- https://www.iplocation.net/find-ip-address
Do those show your correct location?
