How to interpret a Google "Someone is trying to sign in to your account from another device" message?
I received this message on my Pixel 4a phone yesterday evening:
I pressed "No, it's not me" and then saw this message:
I was at home with a cat and five-year-old son. I was cooking and my son was playing with the cat. My phone was next to me but none of us were using any devices that interact with Google. The messages on the phone gave no details about the device and software trying to log in.
The first message shows the Bluetooth logo. If Bluetooth was involved then does that mean that the login attempt was happening in my home? Was it the cat? I really don't understand.
The messages were unhelpful, and scary and I have no idea what to do. I changed the password of my Google account but the account security section of my Google account website doesn't mention the attempted login event. Was it real?
How can I understand what happened?
