#1 Using Ugly Email
Open your Google Chrome browser on your PC.
Search for “Ugly Email“ in Google Chrome Webstore to save yourself from tracked emails.
Click “Add to Chrome” in the new tab and you are good to go.
Now this will get added to your chrome at the right corner.
Now, whenever you login to your Gmail account and open emails then you will see an “evil eye” sign. This indicates that email is a tracking email.
#2 Google 2 step verification!
This is a very secure and safe process that keeps your Gmail account protected from various disasters. The users are provided with a one-time login code to a secondary device through text or Google authentication app. But the text is best. The secondary device can be mobile, laptop or any other device. In order to access your Gmail account, the hackers should identify the security code for the secondary devices also. This code can be numbers or any other thing.
#3 Stay out of the spam/phishing messages
Try to avoid the spam or phishing folders. The most malicious emails contain the subject line as:
Your money is waiting
Claim your reward
Get back to me
Also, you can receive some messages with the subject line as ‘Your Amazon. Com order has been shipped’. To keep the Gmail account safe, you can use the unique account for Amazon, e-bay and do not open those emails which you receive in another account.
#4 Do not disclose the password

Never share your password with anyone. If Google wants your Gmail password then do not give it through any link rather go to https://www.gmail.com or https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin and log in.
#5 Account recovery option: Keep the mobile number up-to-date
It is advised to keep the mobile number up to date because Google sends the security code on your mobile number. In case your account number is hacked then they should know your current phone number to let Google send you the security code.
