Google is sending an email every time you login in a different OS or browser even if you are on the same city.
- HappyTypist 10y agoWhich is useless if you don't have push notifications (ie are on iOS, where Google ended push support for Mail.app), because the attacker can just delete the email.
- yorwba 10y agoWhenever this happens to me (usually because I'm on a VPN), Google will block my email client from accessing my account until I log into their website and answer a security question. Before, I obviously can't delete the warning. Additionally, the email is also sent to my other address. It's not that easy for an attacker to log in without me noticing. The false positives are annoying, though.
