Security notification settings
If Google needs to tell you about changes to your account, or if we find suspicious activity, we'll let you know. Depending on the info we have from you, we'll get in touch by text, by emailing your main and recovery email addresses, or by doing both. These texts and emails are for account security purposes, and we won't send you any advertising emails or spam.
If you want to change how often you get notifications, or where we send them, follow the steps below:
Change notifications
Sign in to My Account.
In the "Sign-in & Security" section, select Device activity & notifications.
Scroll down to "Security alerts settings," and select Manage settings.
Check the boxes to receive alerts by phone or email.
Choose Done.
