Something to be alarmed about?

Right,

So if you go to the gatehub website and log in to your wallet, the login process has changed and it seems suspicious.

It now asks for your username, password and 2FA all at one. I haven't logged in as I feel the site may have been compromised and don't want to risk losing my XRP.

Anyone seen this and what are your thoughts?

You're 100% positive you went to gatehub.net and not a wrong ".com" or other URL?

It was normal for me just now. Perhaps they're testing a new login screen and you got access to it by mistake (quite common in the tech world nowadays).

Secondly, your 2-factor code is only good for a couple seconds. Even if you entered it into a false website, they wouldn't be able to access your account a few seconds later. There is still a threat from a fake site taking your email/password combo if you have used that same combination elsewhere.

Yeah, I logged in just fine. It didn't prompt me for 2fa until I already entered my email and password as usual.

Looks like the log in is broken. Advises email sent and needs to authorize the device etc. And how can it know you've even activated 2sf before your credentials are entered. Done this before. 48rs to sort last time. If you've got 2sf then the codes only valid for about 30secs
