Yes that is correct.

Delta sent me an email notifying me that my personal information had been updated. These emails are sent within a few minutes after the changes are made. As soon as I saw the email, I called SkyMiles desk.

I use different passwords on all sites; none are repeated. So my Delta password was unique for that site. And I don't use GoGo at all.
