At least I haven't used the mobile phone for it so far.Earlier on Wednesday, numerous users reported in panic experiencing a string of issues with their Google accounts. However, I might add that the capture verification issue hasn't been up for a long time now. I check the IPs having been signed in regularly, and to my mind, it has always come up clean.ĬCleaner might then be the culprit, because I use that program quite often, though never at the same time as I use Firefox.
One last note, if you have a mobile device playing with your Google account keep in mind you might log yourself out with that. It's your cookies/sessions that can contain private info.but even then, they can not execute scripts. So don't worry so much about your cache having something malicious in it. If computers stored dynamic files in their cache it would ruin the purpose of a website being dynamic to begin with. Even then they would need to be a script or executable of sorts.most cache files are just images and code that is used only for formatting websites.nothing dynamic. Your cache files can't try to login in to your account on their own, something would need to activate them. Maybe to be safe, reset your password to something new.Īlso, any program like ccleaner or otherwise that is clearing your sessions would cause this too. You should check on the bottom of your gmail to see if there is an IP you do not recognize logging in. Is that what you refer to as "capture verification"? Is that the result of repeated hacking attempts?
You know the kind of stuff that forums put up for registerers in order to prevent bots from creating accounts. What is a "capture verification"? I recall that many months ago, when I signed in I sometimes had to enter letters and numbers from an image in order to get in.
Though on the other hand, maybe having tabs for Blogspot blogs and Google-searchings open count as multiple sessions. I do have multiple tabs open in Firefox, but only one for Gmail. If you are having to do the capture thing frequently it's possible there is something else going on.
It's doubtful that you are being hacked and I say that becuase if you are being hacked and have multiple bad password guesses gmail will require you to login and do a capture verification after so many failed. If it's the second clear your cache and cookies in your browser. If it's the first the only solution is to not do that. Or your cookies/cache has something corrupted and needs to be flushed. You have google/ig or gmail as your home page and you are opening multiple browser tabs/sessions at the same time on the same or multiple machines (say computer, and smart phone) it could cause this to happen.
