Gmail new sign in alert
The Gmail new sign-in alert!
When you sign in to your Gmail account from a new device or browser, you may receive a notification asking you to confirm that it's really you trying to access your account. This is a security feature designed to prevent unauthorized access to your account.
Here's what you'll typically see:
New sign-in alert:
- A pop-up window or notification on your device or browser
- A message asking if you're trying to access your account from a new device or browser
- A prompt to enter your password or verify your identity
Why do I get this alert?
Gmail's new sign-in alert is triggered when:
- You sign in from a new device or browser that's not recognized by Google.
- You've enabled two-factor authentication (2FA) on your account.
- You've recently changed your password or recovery email.
What should I do?
To resolve the issue, follow these steps:
- Enter your password: Type in your Gmail password to verify your identity.
- Verify your identity: If you've enabled 2FA, you may need to enter a verification code sent to your phone or another trusted device.
- Mark the device as trusted: If you're using a new device or browser, you may need to mark it as trusted to avoid future alerts.
Tips:
- Make sure you're using a secure connection (HTTPS) when signing in to your Gmail account.
- Enable 2FA to add an extra layer of security to your account.
- Keep your password and recovery email up to date to avoid issues with sign-in alerts.
