How Do I Disable Advanced Protection on Gmail?

Published in Security 2 mins read

You can't disable advanced protection on Gmail directly. Advanced Protection is a security feature that adds extra layers of security to your account, making it more difficult for unauthorized access. If you want to disable advanced protection, you'll need to remove the security keys or phone that are associated with your account.

Here's how to do it:

  1. Go to your Google Account security settings: Navigate to https://myaccount.google.com/security.
  2. Find the "Advanced protection" section: Look for the "Advanced protection" section within the security settings.
  3. Remove security keys or phones: You'll see a list of the security keys or phones associated with your account. Click on the "Remove" button next to each item to remove them.
  4. Confirm your decision: You'll be asked to confirm your decision to remove each security key or phone.

Once you've removed all the security keys and phones, your account will no longer be protected by advanced protection.

Note: Disabling advanced protection will make your account less secure. Make sure you understand the risks before disabling it.
