But it should still have sent an email.
- dantiberian 11y agoDoes it always send an email, or just when the connection is coming from an unexpected place? e.g. new IP address, unusual time, different cookies, e.t.c. A changed user agent on a browser is pretty small, it wouldn't surprise me if Google didn't email for things like that.

- jdavis703 11y agoRight, but the UA also includes the browser's version in it. If you change from Chrome to Safari you're indeed using a different browser. If Chrome's UA gets updated from say "Chrome 45.1.1.1.1 WebKit" to "Chrome 45.1.1.2.0 WebKit" it shouldn't really care. To be more clear in the case of changing browsers it detects this chnage via cookies, not by UA string.
- jethro_tell 11y agoSure, if it was me logging into someone else's account (and there had to be some conscious effort based on his random password), I'd log in and delete the email immediately. Delete from inbox, delete from trash, refresh.it seems like you would notice that but no one spends 24 hours a day looking at their email. It probably wouldn't be that hard to slip by the best of us. That's what two factor authentication is for. And not emailing the same account for login notifications. I just don't find this to hard to believe.

- nucleardog 11y agoIf you have a recovery email setup it will also receive that notification.
