Keep getting email form Google saying someone is trying to access my account

[GreezyJeezy]

So a few weeks ago I went to chaigo and when I got back it's been about 2 weeks I've been getting emails from Google 1-2 times a day saying someone is trying to access my google account but Google is stopping them, and it says it's trying to be accessed from chaigo, nothing shows up under devices because Google made it so they cant get in so I can block the device they are using.

 

i don't like getting these emails every day, yesterday I didnt get one but I did today again. How can I prevent this?

do you put your email in somewhere?

did you forgot to logout from somewhere?

 

 

i would enable 2 step for extra security.

change your password

 

I believe the google e-mail suggests that as well if you actually read it

Well the thing is they don't know the password they are just trying to log is as the email said, so they could be typing random passwords trying to get in.

then contact google support and don't do stupid stuff like leaving your account somewhere or telling your e-mail to marketing departments

As long as you have two factor authentication enabled, you don't have much to worry about.

Just annoying to get a email every few hours saying someone is trying to log in

Are you sure the communications are actually from Google?  Sounds more like a phishing scam.

Yes they are from Google. It doesn't give me links to click that say like oh click here to fix it, it gives me one link and it's to a google page saying what I can do to make my account more secure. It's all legit. And it's a noreply email.

take it as a good sign. Google got your back  

 

My live account was hacked (which lead to them getting into my steam account) and MS didn't even warn me of the attempt. Granted, support helped after but still.

 

Just in case, if you haven't done so, (1) change your password & (2) 2 step authorization.

Change your password. I have this issue with rainmeter on my PC. When I logged in with my details in rainmeter it would block access due to rainmeter not being secure so I kept getting these messages until I changed my password. Maybe someone was able to steal your login credential and is trying to use them.
