« on: February 23, 2017, 04:50:15 PM »
Ok, wierdness now...
Both my wife and I have gotten G Mail notifications our logins were incorrect, and niether of us had re logged in, to provoke this messege...

Something is amiss.... and before I go changing stuff, I have to ask around.... pretty fishy...

Unknown but my Gmail account is working correctly, and I just shut down the browser and re- opened it to log back in.

I rarely use Gmail, since I think of it as "spyMail", but I do have an account and have no such notices or problems with it...

Believe it's called Phishing. "You horked up your login, click this link to...."

If you can view the full header of the email, you may find the email is NOT from Google.

When you say "G Mail notifications" what do you mean. If it's an email, what Rick said. If not log into gmail.com directly from a computer and there should be the ability to reset your passwords. Never ever click on a link from an email that says to reset your password.

I think that gmail is mucking about with their security.  I got a message on my phone about it.

If you think about it, gmail has been compromised since it's inception. It's basically spyware with benefits.

Yeah, kinda like my other email provider... Yahoo...
I feel real.safe... yeah..... not.
At least I got a messege saying log in.... instead of " last year we were compromised  and 4.5 billion accounts were hacked...last year.... so you need to update to our NEW security programs.."...p
