This happens every so often on here, it is nothing to worry about, unless your password is easily guessed, or a insecure one like your username or "password" .
Even so, most browsers have a function to "remember this password?", check that box after logging in and you don't need to remember it unless you install another OS or clear the settings with CCleaner.
The days of using a simple password are over. If it is a shared computer, use something like "keypass" otherwise @final kaoss suggestion will work well for you.
I have gotten 19 emails in the past few days, all from chinese ip addresses.
I think the best way would be to block out china if it happens this much.
I've been around for many years now and have come to the conclusion, you can not let the actions of a few be the guide you use to judge a group as a whole.
Not all Chinese are evil and up to no good. It is just a small part of the masses that do this. Block the entire country, and you may miss something wonderful.

Not ever going to happen as that would stop legitimate Chinese license holders from having access- it is also fairly trivial to use IP addresses from any non-blocked country instead.
I got the email this morning, there should be a way to report illegitimate logins and have those individual ip addresses banned.
I have since changed my password anyway.
