It's been about a week now since I started getting security alerts from Google when I sign in to both of my blogs. I couldn't find a solution online that I thought I was capable of trying. I just resigned myself to expect the emails, delete them, and click on the security notice I got on my android phone to reply that IT WAS ME. Still, it was tiresome to do this, because I log in at least twice to both blogs every day. Sometimes more.
Anyhoo... after a couple days, I stopped getting the notice on THIS blog. Which is the one I started first, MANY years ago. The notices on my not-so-secret blog continued. Every time. Except one evening. I thought perhaps that one had stopped as well, but the next day it was happening again.
The more I thought about what was different that one night, I devised a plan. I had noticed the morning after I didn't get the security alert that I'd left my phone's email account for that blog open. Usually I toggle back and forth between the two emails, as I send my pictures from one to the other. I'm always keeping my main email as the default, since I get almost all my emails in that account. Both emails are signed into, though. I don't sign out and in each time on my phone. Just on my laptop.
Anyhoo... I decided to have the email for my not-so-secret blog open on my phone as I signed into that blog on my laptop. And I DID NOT GET A NOTICE! I've done that several times now, and I don't get the notice.
I am not brave enough to try it the opposite way, and risk getting notices when I open THIS blog again. I just make sure to have the email open on my phone for the blog I'm about to log into on my laptop. That's easier than deleting two security emails, and responding to security alerts on my phone.
Maybe in a week or so, I'll go back to only having my regular email open on my phone, and try signing into both blogs on my laptop. It could be a problem that gets repaired by Google/Blogger. Or something with the android platform that gets fixed with an update.
