Easy Steps to Stop Google Suspicious Login Attempts

If you are a Google Workspace administrator, you will receive an email alert when a Google suspicious sign-in attempt is detected. If you wonder what is Google suspicious activity, it is an attempt to sign in that does not match a user's normal behavior. In most cases, Google sends an alert before it asks the user a second security question or challenges the user. If the user fails the additional security question or leaves the challenge unanswered, Google alerts you. The alert warns you that somebody has the suspended user's password. Gmail alerts can be turned off within your Gmail account if you do not wish to receive a notification every time someone logs in.



Steps to Disable Google Suspicious Login

Changing your Gmail account password might work for you, or you can simply click "Ignore" to dismiss the message. However, you might also want to disconnect Google from the suspicious login attempt. Here is how:

·         First, sign in to your Gmail account.

·         You should now see the "Last account activity: xx minutes ago" text in the bottom right-hand corner. Clicking on that will reveal the link titled "Details." If this text is not present, it appears in an email you send yourself after you log out of Gmail and then log in again after a period of time.

·         Now, you need to click on the link labeled "Details."

·         On this window, move to "Activity on this account." Then, scroll down to the section named "Alert preference."

·         Once you have clicked on "Change," click on the circle of "Never show an alert for unusual activity" on the left and click "Apply."

·         Now, confirm this selection by clicking on "Disable Alerts."

·         Finally, to disable Google suspicious login alerts Gmail users, close any open windows and wait a week for Google to switch off "Unusual Activity" alerts.

·         You will be able to verify whether the suspicious activity is genuine by logging into your Gmail account and enabling "Two-Step Verification" for the phone number and email address.

·         For those who are worried about the security of their Google Accounts, you might consider viewing the Google Account dashboard monthly activity.

Basically, anything suspicious about Google login attempts is generally false alarms. There have even been reports of phishing emails that look almost identical to the ones Google sends out. So, protect your Google account to the fullest extent possible.
