Gmail – How to get Gmail to stop “detecting suspicious activity” every time I travel

gmailSecurity

Every time I travel, Gmail believes there may be suspicious activity as the sign in comes from a different location; I get that.

However, it then asks for my password and usually will not recognize it. So, I can’t access my email account.

Any way to prevent this?

Best Answer

You can prevent this by:

  1. Using Gmail web main interface on the same computer device (as Gmail would probably use the cookies or any other information related to your computer);
  2. setting up your Gmail account as internal email account (either POP3 or IMAP) in the Mail program of your computer;
  3. using Gmail App for smart phones or a tablet version (or any 3rd party application synchronised with Gmail).

I think those are the ways that would allow you to avoid this annoying security checks. I hope that the options listed above will help.
