52. I am seeing a Google Security Alert message on my TV screen. How can I remove it?

Currently, the only way to cancel these Google Security Alerts is to plug a USB mouse into your ZapperBox and click on the message to dismiss it. This security alert is triggered by the following chain of events:

  1. You log in to YouTube on your ZapperBox.
  2. Google recognizes ZapperBox as one of your Google account devices so that every time you log in, it can verify your credentials and the device.
  3. If you or someone else unsuccessfully logs into your account or logs in on a new device, this alert shows up on all your devices including your ZapperBox.

If you see a security alert and you did not attempt a login or you don’t recall logging in to your Google account, it is best to go to accounts.google.com, log into your account and look into what activity may have triggered the alert.
