Gmail/Chrome lock-out.

Yesterday, I had to make a quick, unexpected trip to Penang, return today via KL. While I was in KL airport, I tried to log onto the free airport WiFi. When I got the "Sign In" page, before I could complete filling in the "Name", I get a Chrome page saying they detect a security flaw and lock out my sign in. I try to get the page back but Chrome blocks it. I try a restart but now my WiFi won't even see the site. I have a 2nd phone so I set a hotspot and log on. When I try to open my Gmail. it say's that it has blocked an un-authorized entry attempt and locks me out. Google says to enter a SMS security code sent to my Thai number but I don't want to open my Thai number because my pre-pay account will quickly get sucked dry by backed up messages. No way to get into my Gmail.

When I got home late this afternoon, I was locked out of my own wifi. I had to do a complete Google password change with SMS verification before I could log on.

Sure glad it wasn't a long trip.

I was in China couple of weeks ago, for a week of business travel. all my google access, microsoft access are completely blocked, not even SMTP to my truemail.co.th mail account.

have to learn a way of living without 'accessibility' !
