It might be a phishing email. Check the sender's email address, look for spelling mistakes, and don't click on any links. Instead, go directly to Google's website to sign in and check your account. If you're still unsure, contact Google support.

A.I. is changing the game on phishing emails now. In either case, I would ignore it. Never got anything like this from an email provider. Some tips on dealing with A.I. generated email.

To add more information, I rarely use that email, idk if it has been 8 months. I have normal access with it on Microsoft sites and apps. I can't seem to access with it on Google, it says wrong password, I don't remember if I changed the password since last time I used it, as of now I don't even need the password because Outlook sends me an authentication number. My Google account instead is used every day.

hey this is a legit email. Which part was sus to u? Check the mail headers from a laptopbor desktop view, not from an app.

I've gotten one before too but from Microsoft. I couldve gotten one from google too but i wouldnt care because i rarely use them anymore .

If u have important anything saved to that account just sign in from a device or they're gonna close your account and keep your files or photos. Basically the want to make sure if you are using the account still that they can track u on whatever device u sign in from. They started this like a year maybe 2 ago.

The sus part is that it ask me to sign in to Google with a hotmail email, idk if it's possible and I don't remember if I ever did. I already accessed to Outlook with this email now, but I can't seem to do it to Google, yet I'm pretty sure I'm writing the same password, so I don't know if that counted or not.
