Hi all, I have an LG Stylo 4 running Android 9. I have Cricket Wireless and use a data connection. i've set my DNS to cloudflare.

I changed the password on my primary Google account, the one my phone is using by default, and received no prompt to log in to my phone again as I would expect. What could be causing this?

I factory reset my phone to use a different Google account, just in case.

Possibly related: Signing in on my laptop, the two-factor notification from Google showed my phone under its generic(?) name "LMsomethingsomething" rather that "Stylo 4", several times. Google still only listed the one device and it also appeared under this name when plugged in to my laptop, (elementary os) so I wrote it off at the time.

Possibly related: in logging in to Credit Karma a few moments ago, I recieved two notifications for new log-ins (one is expected, as it is a factory reset device) one from "Android OS Firefox" and one from "Android Firefox Mobile"; then "Linux Chrome" and "Android Chrome Mobile" when I logged in using Chrome. My two-factor text alert worked normally each time.

Is my phone compromised, and if so, what to do? I'm very concerned about this.

Let me know if more/what kind of detail may help in answering. Thanks for taking the time to read.
 
Welcome to Android Central! It might be hard to troubleshoot this, since you already reset the phone. How long did you wait to see if the phone prompted you to reenter your password? Do you recall if you could access your Google services on the phone (e.g., Gmail, Google Calendar, etc.) without difficulty? Changing your Google password wouldn't make the phone completely inaccessible -- just your Google services (until you reentered the correct password.
 
If you are referring to the lock screen on your phone, that is independent of your Google account. You would need to set it up separately.
