    Got this from google today:
    Hi ......,

    Someone recently tried to use an application to sign in to your Google Account - ............@gmail.com.

    We prevented the sign-in attempt in case this was a hijacker trying to access your account. Please review the details of the sign-in attempt:

    Location: Hefei, Anhui, China


    If you do not recognize this sign-in attempt, someone else might be trying to access your account. You should sign in to your account and reset your password immediately.

    This never happened to me before. I changed my password and setup phone verification. Is there anything else to be worried about?

    2 step should be enough at this point IMO. I've had similar before, though I have a popular name <initial><surname>@gmail.com so I get other peoples rubbish all the time.

    Fair play to google. They're legend for dealing with that kind of nonsense.
