Am very confused...

I never gave my password or account info to anyone, so I was very confused to find some bullet games and a blitz game on my account that I most definitely did not play.

It was from 1 am my time, when I was fast asleep.

I wonder who it was...to my knowledge I never gave my account info to anyone...? But yet it shows I lost a bunch of rating...and whoever used my account really liked Botez gambits.

This is all very strange...I promise I never gave my password to anyone :(
Well, I hope Lichess will do something about it. I hope they can and will restore your lost points AND I hope they can trace the games back to someone's IP address. I might not know you very well, but, from what I can tell, you are a person with integrity. I don't think you would mess around with your rating. Well, that's my two cents. I sincerely hope this gets fixed. Take care.

Thank you for the kind words!

I already got my lost rating back for bullet (played some games myself), so I don't think I'll get rating refunded (also because I can't prove it wasn't me playing, other than that I wouldn't make so many blunders).

I changed my password, which should help (hopefully) and I'll just play blitz some time and get the rating back. Hopefully it'll work out!
Did you check your login session for that time?:

lichess.org/account/security

You may recognize it as being from some location you visited (a public computer or friend's device), or notice some other clue. You can also deactivate the session from there.

In addition to changing your password, you can enable two-factor authentication.
Are you absolutely sure it wasn't you?

I have a sleepwalking friend, these things are real.

Yes.

It was four games. I would have to get out of bed, log in to the correct tab, and then open up three bullet challenges and one blitz challenge and play through all of them before logging back out...all at 1 am...and my glasses were still on top of my computer so I would have to put them on the computer after I was done.

So yeah, I thought about that possibility but I don't have a history of doing stuff in my sleep and I don't think it would be possible for me to do something so drastic.

For some reason, only my computer shows up on the list of devices...not even my phone which I use pretty regularly for bullet...

Thank you! I'm looking at it but it doesn't show anything...

I don't have the Lichess app so I couldn't figure out how to do it...does it require the use of a phone?
Could it possibly be some games from a tournament you played in and weren't up dated till later ?
