    Ok, but tell us, do you login now to adsense by your Google account, or by Adsense site directly?

    I login to adsense directly using new created account. But in access list of adsense, i can see two emails, previous and new. I not understand why they required me to register new account. :confused:

    If this is not a phish, you will have all google services assigned to one email address.

    Nothing to worry about... i had that happen months ago. They simply want you to merge your accounts to google.

    I've seen that page before, but it wasn't for Adsense (can't remember what it was for, though).

    Yeah nothing to worry about. They are merging all old accounts to google accounts. It like one google account for all activities rather than different gmail, adsense, adwords accounts.

    I have seen this in the past. Dont panic the guy

    You just need to create a "Google Account". Just read and follow the step process and you should be good.

    This is for the old school guys. I got this notification too, two days back. Your adsense account username/password is different than that from the google account (gmail etc). When I signed up some years ago I couldn't sign up with the same ID as my google ID, nowadays new publishers sign up with the same user/pass as their google account ID.

    I got the same thing today... I just clicked on the Skip this wizard for now. I have no desire to change my email login address. Hopefully they won't make this mandatory.

    It's not a phishing expedition - at least not necessarily. I got it too. I signed in through Google Accounts and reached AdSense that way. Bit of a PITA.

    I got this too. It's just asking if you want to change your email login to your gmail account.

    I got this message awhile back...all you have to do is update your information and your set. They are slowly converting over I guess. So eventually others will have to do this as well.

    I followed those steps several months ago, they only want to offer a better and safe way to use Google products, they merge email accounts and attach them to your other Google services such as webmaster tools, analitycs, adsense, adwords, gmail, froogle, etc

    After I merged the accounts I'm permanetly logged in (from my computer) to Google services which is easier that log in every time that I open an email or check my adsense statistics.

    The email account used to open the adsense account still the same, the only thing is Google adds your gmail account to all your services and provides one good-for-all login form

    Yes, though so far they haven't put on a link to the rest of the accounts from AdSense's reports page.

    I got one of them on my personal adsense account (i have several separate business ones)

    and its harmless

    just follow the instructions and it merges your adsense account with google accounts


    the mentioned this on their blog months ago that they will start doing this

    dont be freaking out
