Google’s urgent warning for Gmail users
According to Google, Gmail’s security system has been strengthened recently. According to the new rules, Gmail users will have to complete certain updates mandatorily. Many users have already been sent warnings by Google via e-mail and login screen. These messages ask for action within 15 to 30 days. If users do not follow the instructions in time, they may lose access to their accounts. Google says that this initiative is mainly taken to build resistance against the increasing number of spam, phishing and fake emails. Although a large number of suspicious emails are blocked every day using artificial intelligence technology, the fraud techniques of cybercriminals are becoming more sophisticated. Therefore, the security system has been made more stringent and universal. And therefore, users need to update the following things. Login with just username and password is no longer enough. Instead, a token-based secure login method called OAuth 2.0 must be used. According to Google, most modern apps already support this method. If the alternate email address and mobile number associated with the user’s account are updated, it is much easier to recover the account in any critical situation. And therefore, users must update the recovery information.
