Why Google Sent Me the Mail?
Google has set new security standards for signing-in to any services using the Google ID. As I said earlier we use our Google ID to sign-in to a number of 3rd party services. Many of these third party clients or services do not meet security standards set by Google. As these apps and devices are more prone to be attacked and easy to break through, Google prevents automated signing thus sending the mail. What to Do? If you wish to ignore the mail there is no harm in doing so but you may receive such mail in future each time a false attempt is made.
Solution I: Allow Less Secure Apps
That is it you can now connect to Gmail using any 3rd party client and not bother about blocked sin-in attempt. Allow less secure apps Note: Some apps and devices may not use modern security standards and are less secure, which could leave your account vulnerable.
Solution II: Change Password Frequently
If you do not wish to allow access to less secure apps then the best solution is to change your password on regular basis. You can even set a 2-step verification process which is much more secure. Just you need to register your mobile number with Google and each time you sign-in to a new device or software using Google account, a PIN is sent to your phone which you need to verify. Thus, protecting your account from hackers. Conclusion: I hope the post was helpful in clearing your doubts on the mailer sent by Google you can even seek an help from Google Help Forum.
