Did the e-mail actually say "compromised", or something else, like an
unknown host or client attempted to access her account?



For information this started about a month ago and I posted this to the
Win10 NG at the time.

"My wife does not have a computer at the moment ( mother board went) and
I have added her E-Mail address to my Outlook folder.
Why has this message came up for her ?
"Someone just used your password to try to sign in to your account from
a non-Google app. Google blocked them, but you should check what
happened. Review your account activity to make sure no one else has access."

The access has been mine. I ignored the oft repeated message for a while
but then stupidly took heed of it.

I had this problem trying to access a gmail account from a non-google
app.
To fix the problem, I did the following:

In web browser go to www.google.com, then log into gmail account from
there.
Go to Account Info/Sign-In & Security
Then select "Apps with account access"
I then just turned ON "Allow less secure apps"

Hope this helps
Cheers
