I have no doubt it deals with a real threat. That doesn’t change the fact that I’m regularly unable to log into my Google account.
Usually it happens when I’m using multiple devices simultaneously—for example, Android and iOS. It’s understandable that Google considers that to be suspicious, but if Google isn’t going to learn on its own, there needs to be some way for me to confirm that nothing is amiss. It’ll ignore everything from TOTP codes to YubiKeys.
- smileybarry 5y agoI have an opposite anecdote: I moved to iOS but kept my (4-year-old) Android device active, and now I basically hop between a few iOS devices (but just one iPhone) and a Pixel 2 regularly. The only account that appears to dislike that is my work Microsoft 365 account that demanded I reauth all devices a couple times. Not saying it's not true (I believe you), just that it's not designed to be a suspicious case, at least.
