Ask HN: How can I disable all Security alerts for my Google Account?
IE: I don't ever want for anyone to be blocked from login into my Google account. Because most of the time, I am the one being blocked. I get something like this: "Sign-in attempt was blocked for your linked Google Account".
- rolph 7y agoI dont really use g00gle products, and im not standing at your console to see exactly what happens, so im going to take a stab it in the dark. Perhaps G00gle has blacklisted a known hostile bot or wormed machine, and thats what is being blocked? if something had a mission to spread far and wide, an open promiscuous account would be a good vector to exploit. It could possibly be a spoof, so when you log in to see what happened your password gets snarfed
- anewguy9000 7y agosomewhere i read in google documentation that you cannot. you'll have to setup a local solution (ex mail filter rule)
- OrgNet 7y agonot sure how a local rule would help since they prevent me from login into my account (when using a mail client app on my android phone)
- anewguy9000 7y agooh i see; i get security alerts from unknown devices even though it still allows me to login. just noticed your case was different.

- OrgNet 7y agomine are not fake, I can see it from Google's own domain (https://myaccount.google.com/ https://myaccount.google.com/) ... I just don't see any option to disable that "feature"/bug
