Email from google sign in attempt blocked

The dreaded "Sign in attempt blocked" email from Google!

Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Here are some possible reasons and solutions:

Reasons:

  1. Suspicious activity: Google may have detected unusual sign-in activity from your account, which could be a sign of a security breach or unauthorized access.
  2. Incorrect password: You may have entered an incorrect password, which triggered the block.
  3. Two-factor authentication (2FA) issues: If you have 2FA enabled, you may have entered an incorrect verification code or your device may not be configured correctly.
  4. Account compromise: Your account may have been compromised by a third-party, leading Google to block sign-in attempts.

Solutions:

  1. Check your password: Make sure you're entering the correct password. If you're unsure, try resetting your password.
  2. Verify your identity: Go to the Google Account sign-in page and click on "Forgot password." Follow the prompts to verify your identity and reset your password.
  3. Check your 2FA settings: Ensure that your 2FA is set up correctly and that you're receiving verification codes correctly. You can check your 2FA settings by going to the Google Account sign-in page and clicking on "Security" > "2-Step Verification."
  4. Review your account activity: Go to the Google Account sign-in page and click on "Recent activity." Review the list of recent sign-in attempts to see if there are any suspicious activities.
  5. Contact Google support: If none of the above solutions work, you can contact Google support for further assistance. They may be able to help you recover your account or provide additional guidance.
