There seems to be a lot of misinformation and fud spread about blockchain.info recently. It still seems fine to use though they did have minor problems that were sorted (I think) and they were removed from the Foundation site but they don't seem to have given any reasoning for it other than others speculating on why.

And that mail you received is a blatant phishing scam.

It was a big screw up by them, and its still ongoing. The white hat hacker we have is doing the best but blockchain.info seems incapable of fixing it.

hilariousandco, if you are talking about Johoe's find, then nope it is not a FUD. The users haven't done anything wrong to my understanding, but it is a bug on blockchain.info because of carelessness or incompetence or malicious programmer.

Blockchain could be having email server issues. They have so many emails to sesenout every hour. My authorisation email is arriving an hour late.

Its late but its arriving? The OP has gone quiet too so I think its not an issue anymore.

Foundation removing Blockchain is a separate issue. Maybe they didnt get the bribe they wanted.

What should I do?

Wait till tomorrow and open a ticket on blockchain.info cause today they drop all of the support tickets.
Also don't use blockchain.info as wallet at all if you like use it as a block explorer but nothing else.Even bitcoin.org removed blockchain.info from https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet web wallets section. If you like using web wallets use something else.

Why was it removed? The last time I asked, almost everyone recommended blockchain wallet. (I want an online one.) So it is no longer a recommended one?

Watoshi - did your problem get solved? They might have temporarily disabled as more vulnerable addresses were being cracked.

Bitcoin.org removed it because it had some security problems, after that they screwed even more they broke their RNG which lead to this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9774894 255BTC was returned and more than 100BTC stolen.

I was having your same problem from today morning ( Central Europe Time ), but now - after about 10 attempts - I can log in.
So let's continue to try to login and don't worry.

Anyway, I think I'm gonna transfer my funds to a better wallet

Authorization email is not being received.

Worked fine till yesterday.

idk why, but from the previous week onwards, after I go to the link, I get "Authorization required. Please check your email", I check my email, and I get the link, I use it and could login. Note, that I haven't changed any of my settings.

Today, I find, even though I get the "please check your email" message, I am NOT GETTING THE AUTHORIZATION LINK CONTAINING EMAIL. I use Gmail. I check Spam and everywhere else too.
I feel like I am locked out of my wallet.

What should I do?

(I am not a beginner or anything. But I think this is the relevant section to post this?)

it happen to me too

but i waited around 1 hour to login back and it works

I suggest you move those funds asap if you have keys for your addresses inside that blockchain wallet OP. Blockchain is having too many problems, just stroll around the forum and you'll easily find 4-5 threads at-least about people having trouble with blockchain wallet. This was the same problem I had with bittrex some days back and as soon as I received the email I moved all my funds.

Blockchain is having problems? I saw thread of people getting hacked but not for a blockchain.info fault..

On checking my spam emails, I found this:

Is this a real email from blockchain Huh

The link is : http://gemstonemineradora.com/blockchain.info/verification5477we1c........(a few alpha numeric values. I removed it, just in case.)

It wouldn't go anywhere.

Thats clearly a phishing email. I hope you didnt click on it.

Have you backed up the private keys? You can always use a different wallet to access your balance in case blockchain.info goes down.

I highly trust blockchain.info, as far as I know it remains the best online wallet.

Send a ticket, don't worry, and delete your phishing mail

I don't think it's from blockchain.info

What you should do is login again, and it will send another Authorization email.
I tried already don't worry haha

I already tried logging in. Around 20 times by now. I never received a single email.
