Attention, Google users! If you haven’t checked your Google Account in years, you might want to sign in soon or risk losing it forever. Starting this Friday, Google is moving forward with its plan to remove accounts that have been inactive for at least two years.
This measure is intended to prevent security risks, as older accounts are more likely to rely on recycled passwords and are less likely to employ updated security measures such as two-step verification.
Google has been sending out notices to affected users since August, so if you’ve received an alert, be sure to sign in to your account and reactivate it.
The first accounts to be cut are those that were created and then never reviewed by the user.
To save your account, all you have to do is sign in to your Google Account or any Google service at least once every two years.
Remember, this applies to all Google services, including Gmail, Docs, Drive, and Photos, so don’t let your important data get wiped.
There are some exceptions to the removal motion. Accounts with YouTube channels, accounts with remaining balance on gift cards, accounts used to purchase a digital item such as a book or movie, and accounts that have published active apps on a platform like Google Play Store.
If you’re not sure if your account is at risk, you can check the “Recent Account Activity” section in your Google Account.
So, if you want to keep your Google Account and all the data associated with it, make sure you sign in and use it at least once every two years.
