Amazon account under constant attack
Hey guys. I wasn't sure where to go with this, but I hope some of you can offer help. Basically this started with me getting 2FA codes spammed to my phone. I panicked and cleared all trusted machines for the account, changed the password to something fairly complex, and hoped it was over. It wasn't. The next day, same thing. 15 texts all at once, then silence for 15 minutes (amazon's 2FA lockout timer, I'm guessing.) Only thing that gets it to stop is changing my password. But then it picks up AGAIN the next day. And then AGAIN today. Each time, pretty complex passwords. My last one was something like $!$A8162a#19nSD1! for example.I ran MBAM, Adwcleaner, Roguekiller, Win defender and found nothing at all. It seems you can only request a 2FA code by getting the password CORRECT. And this seems to be backed up by the fact that the spam stops for a day or so each time I change it.I'm at a loss. I'm panicking. Only with Amazon is this happening, but I feel like nothing is secure at all if these passwords are getting cracked that easily. I'm terrified and I don't know what to do. Is it POSSIBLE that somehow they're able to spam the 2FA requests without guessing my password? Is it possible there's a data breach? Is there anything I can do to make this stop?

Randomly generated username
For sites where your username is not forced to be your email address, or is not used as your display name, is there value in having a randomly generated username?
