What is Google Alerts?
What can you do with Google Alerts?
How many Google Alerts can you have?
Apologies for the wordy title. Let me explain:
I bought a new LG QNED TV a couple of weeks ago and I noticed that when I signed into the Youtube app, I would get an email and Android notification alerting me of a new login, and would log the login on my Google account's Security page. It did this any time I logged into the app after a factory reset.
However, when I simply log out and then log into the app, or deleting the app then re-installing it then logging back in, I would get no such email or Android alerts.
Can I safely assume this is by design and the reason is because Google/Youtube recognizes the TV in between logins, and a factory reset on the TV basically clears that recognition and goes back to being a "new" device?
Hey all! I am receiving dozens and dozens of Google Security Alerts for random email addresses. The emails from Google are legit but I am not sure what is happening. I have probably received 100 of them so far today and all for email addresses I have no association with. I have already changed my own password and have the correct backup/2FA setup.
"We noticed a new sign-in to your Google Account on a Windows device. If this was you, you don’t need to do anything. If not, we’ll help you secure your account."
There is an option to Check Activity or Disconnect the random emails from my own. What's going on?
