Perhaps at some point, you or another family member with

access to your Google Account, had chosen a second one.?


..Their pop-ups occur enough, to accidentally choose again..


Too easy, even when you just want the window to disappear.

Those appear as they keep trying to promote extra features.

Helps too if you or household shares a YouTube-only account.

(Google Accounts may allow careful use of a free account.)

Well, that's easier said before you choose ~ than after..


To create a new Google Account, with its own password

and its related 2FA secure login, you could share one with

your family, probably. And change it too, & keep it secure.


With that account could have a 'non-name', you can make one up:

Pseudonym (noun; fictitious name, esp. one used by an author.

Which may include a known birth-date month/year, not all exact.

And also use that to login to YouTube & save visited sites, etc,

send/forward duplicate of articles, & maybe sign up limited stuff.


Keep it separate; from a known personal account, the public you.

If you've already a personal account in Google Accounts, that

has a real identity, then you can manage that; use Google Help.


Just some ideas; I used a 'google sites' & earlier content to share;

but haven't done much there in several years. Google edits those.


Access & control activity in your account - Computer - Google Account Help

zippy=%2Cyour-activity-doesnt-show-up


Google Help

Help Center

https://support.google.com/accounts

https://myaccount.google.com/


And then, there's also those random sites one may visit

that have a 'Google sign-in' pop-up (I avoid those too.)

As those only complicate an otherwise tedious maze.

.Harder to un-subscribe from even more diversions.
