"new login from $device"
That's a security precaution, not spam.
- encom 3y agoExcept all my logins are from "a new device" because I use Cookie AutoDelete, there's no way to opt out of this spam, and I don't give a shit if anyone DID actually hack my Google account because it's only a way to keep track of my Youtube watch history and subs. I filter these as spam.
- brightball 3y agoAs long as you know the reason. For everybody else, it’s not spam.

- switch007 3y agoIt's not a precaution. A security precaution would be blocking the login because of unusual activity I get so many, I tune out. I bet I'm not alone
- brightball 3y agoThat’s ideal, but it’s a lot harder and involves more invasive tracking to determine normal activity. You really have 2 options from a UX standpoint. Either allow the login and notify you, which gives you less friction in your experience with the application if it really is you. Or they can stop you right on the login screen and send you an email with a code or a link to click before you go further. It’s more secure, but it adds friction on the more common case that it really is you.
