Zlain Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Was watching Youtube video's and suddenly, I got a notification saying there has been a change to my google account, and I need to sign in again on my phone. I went onto my PC and my chrome browser, with the same login, is also now not syncing and asking me to log in again. After googling the problem, I've checked the security of my account, there doesn't appear to be anything suspicious and I have two factor authentication enabled. Was there any recent update or something?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim K Global Moderator Posted February 23, 2017 Global Moderator Share Posted February 23, 2017 Same thing happened a bit ago. A disturbance in the force ... I guess. The Evil Overlord 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSOD*MYSELF Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I just started receiving this as well. I realize this is not exactly the same but this recent scam makes this alert/request suspect... http://www.clark.com/beware-of-new-gmail-phishing-email-scam This alert may be legit but it is unusually vague and Google should provide more info about it... I'm not logging in until they do but that's easy since it's just a spam catchall for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim K Global Moderator Posted February 24, 2017 Global Moderator Share Posted February 24, 2017 From Google: Quote Hi everyone, We've gotten reports about some users being signed out of their accounts unexpectedly. We're investigating, but not to worry: there is no indication that this is connected to any phishing or account security threats. For Chrome users seeing the error message "Sync isn't working. Sign-in details are out of date," please try signing in again by clicking the sign in button in Chrome. For all other Google users, please try to sign-in again at accounts.google.com and if you cannot remember your password, please use this link (g.co/recover) to recover your password. If you use 2-Step Verification, there may have been a delay in receiving your SMS code. Please try again or use backup codes.

+Warwagon MVC Posted February 24, 2017 MVC Share Posted February 24, 2017 I think they should modify it Quote "For all other Google users, please try to sign-in again at accounts.google.com and if you cannot remember your password, please use this link to recover your password and in the future please write down your god damn password and store it in a safe place" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see why they should? g.co is Google's URL shortener just for Google...so a g.co URL will always take you to a Google product/service. goo.gl is a public URL shortener.
