Keep getting "Too many failed login attempts" message

I keep my email set at "Keep me logged in for two weeks." After the end of the two weeks, it asks me to sign in again. When I try to sign in, I get the message saying "Too many failed login attempts" and I then have to reset my password, even though I have not had ANY failed login attempts because it's set to stay logged in! Why is this happening? Does this mean a hacker is trying to guess my password and is unsuccessful, which is why it tells me there have been too many failed login attempts even though I have not had any? I'm beyond tired of having to change my password every two weeks!

Same here.  Beyond frustrating!  Funny thing is, when I reset my password, I use the same password it keeps saying is wrong.

So the response for too many login attempts is to login and update your preferences?  What am I missing here?

What is the ongoing trend?  That their is something wrong with ATT mail or someone is trying to hack our email?
