If you suspect you've entered your credentials on a fake page, act immediately: 1. Go directly to accounts.google.com (do not use any links from the suspicious email) and change your Google password to a strong, unique password. 2. Perform a Google Security Checkup (myaccount.google.com/security-checkup) to review recent activity, connected apps, and ensure your recovery options are correct and up-to-date. 3. Enable 2-Step Verification if it isn't already active. 4. Check your account settings for any unauthorized changes, such as new forwarding rules or recovery email/phone numbers added by an attacker. If you're locked out, use Google's account recovery process.
