Hey,

a few days ago I saw a an unknown device in my Recently Synced list. Since my notebook and homeserver were compromised a few months ago (which was unknown to me till recently) I am pretty sure it was a malicious login.

So I started panicking and just deleted my sync account. The syncing to the unknown device seemed to be successfull in terms of saved logins, because I had a few passwords changed (which I was able to change back since I didnt lose control oder my mail accounts)

But to be honest I am not really sure what kind of saved logins I had on the sync server and I am now not able to change those logins I do not have in my password manager.

So my questions are: Is there a way for me to get a list of the saved logins (and other stuff) from my sync account after I've deleted it?(I think I might be able to authorize as the true account owner. I guess)

Is there a way to get the IP of the unknown device? (Someone was and is fucking with my (digital) personal life through hacks to my Wifi network, laptop, home server. Maybe getting the IP might allow me to get legal advice and press charges if the hacker started to getting sloppy)

To be safe, change all of your password Everywhere.

No, your data was deleted when that account was deleted. And no backups of user data are made by Sync.

Plus, once the account password is changed any data that is on the Sync server is rendered useless. The password that was in effect at the time the Sync data was sent to the server is used to encrypt user data via dual "keys"; a different password would create different "keys" which wouldn't be able to decrypt the data; so that data is automatically deleted when the user changes their password.
