Meetup is always looking out for the security of our members. If we detect a new or different login, we’ll send a notification to the email address connected to your Meetup account. Receiving this email doesn't necessarily mean your account has been compromised.

If you recognize this login, no further action is needed at this time. 

If you did not attempt to access your account and do not recognize the login, please change your password immediately.

If you didn't sign in from the location provided in the email:

If you did recently login to your Meetup account but the information in the email shows a different location, please note that the data provided is approximate and may be inaccurate. The location may be impacted by the location where the IP address is registered or where the IP controller is located, cellular IPs and VPNs or proxies. 

If you have additional concerns about your account security, or if you have more questions about the information provided in your Notification email, please contact us anytime by submitting a request through our Help Center form.
