I travel frequently and have multiple Google accounts (3x G-Suite and one Gmail) and have never had any problems accessing any of them anywhere in the world. I do occasionally get alerts saying that they've blocked a login attempt from India or South America, though. It seems their system works pretty well.
- Bartweiss 8y agoThis is actually surprising enough that I'm glad to hear it even as an anecdote. My experience with changing devices or cities (or god forbid both at once) is that it always requires further authentication, and often fails outright. I have an account which is simply disabled because I didn't set a recovery phone # or email and then changed machines. Everyone I've ever discussed the topic with has described similarly pervasive problems. Which makes me wonder: what's so different between usage patterns? Obvious Google's auth approach is working for lots of people, so what's distinctive about this block of users who it's constantly failing for?
