> I have around 20 or 30 google accounts attached where i am the backup email address. Those people forget their passwords or stop using their accounts and i get email notifications about that. No confirmation from my side necessary.

Does google not require a verification when you setup a backup email address?!

Yes they do, so I’m not sure how that could be possible. Unless it’s a back up email address for some other email service that doesn’t require it.

You can add any address as a backup email address for a google account. And for some reason there are a number of people that just attached my email address, possibly by mistake.
