Someone trying to access my yahoo account?

So I logged into Yahoo today and after a while, I see this: (Image removed)

At the first time I saw it, there was only a report of one suspicious login. However, after I changed my password, it showed me another notification of a suspicious login. After several more attempts to change my password, it would always result in a new notification of a suspicious login.

This made me worry a bit. Do I have some sort virus on my computer? Is there a person/bot actually trying to get into my account or is this simply just a false alarm from yahoo?

Not that I actually use Yahoo that much, but it still concerns me that there may be something/someone trying to get into an account of mine.

it's a false alarm. that ip is yours, noone else logged into your account.

I wonder why yahoo thinks it's "suspicious", maybe you tend to mistype your password often?

Are you going incognito or something like that, like disabled cookies?

You changed your password so it is very unlikely that someone knew your new password, besides this is only showing because "someone" already logged in previously. This means "someone" already got your e-mail. Which in this case is you.

Now that I check it, you're right. Thanks for the clarification, I got pretty worried for a bit there.
Though, I probably wanna get rid of the image.

I've never mistyped my password, I'm not sure why I received that message then...

No, I was simply browsing normally.

Thanks for clearing things up for me guys. I guess I'm just too paranoid?
