You will be greeted with a message: “Time for your security checkup.” I was prompted to check my recovery information in the first step which included my recovery phone number, email, and the security question.

The next step was checking my Google account sign-in for suspicious log in and I was shown my account log-in from recently logged devices.
Final step was enabling or disabling access for less secure apps. I preferred not to turn this off because signing in apps and devices via this option is more convenient.
