@nickheer @marcoarment You can turn this off! Direct link: myaccount.google.com/connectio

The steps to get there via account settings are asinine:

1. myaccount.google.com/security
2. Under “Your connections to third party apps & services”, click “See all connections”
3. In the header, click the ⚙️
4. Turn off “Google Account sign-in prompts”

Do this separately for all your Google accounts. I found out from a toot, but can’t remember who from so can’t link to the source 🥲

@nickheer @marcoarment To be completely honest, I don’t know **exactly** what this does and doesn’t turn off—partly because I’m always signed in to **a** Google account.

If it’s an account setting, does it really know not to bother me if I’m signed out? Your solution is arguably better for people with the know-how, but at least this setting is **something** for “normal” people.

Awful all around. I benefit from and rely on Google but feel ickier about it year-by-year. (See also Dropbox.)
