Yikes. I've logged into my gmail account from 55 different countries, and I've never had a problem. Some of those countries must have set some flags - Nigeria, Sudan, Mali, Rep. Congo, Bolivia, El Salvador.
Maybe I'm on thin ice..
- KMag 6y agoDid you clear cookies before signing in from the other country? As I remember, Google made me re-authenticate via text the last time I cleared cookies, despite connecting from the same IP address as my last login.
- grecy 6y agoNo, often used an existing session, though back in the day I was also using computers in internet cafes around the world, so totally new sessions each time
- bserge 6y agoAndroid devices get a pass. I'm guessing Google verifies some ID on the phone. This, btw, is what I think caused me to lose a Google account. It was an old one I was checking very rarely, someone reset my (strong!) password from a phone. I reset it again, along with the questions, thought I was fine. They once again reset it and then Google's recovery page was not letting me do anything, apparently I was the suspicious person. Oook Google.
