why does google keep wanting me to enter my password? i dont even have a google account!, I deleted it some time ago
iPad Pro, iOS 12
Thanks, but I’m very familiar with the location you mentioned as well as all locations on my devices. I’m very tech savvy, and many people come to me asking for help with their tech issues. I got another request this morning for the password. It’s related to the alternate email address that I used to use with the google account that I deleted. It said:
Enter the google password for “rxxxxxxxxxxxxe@yahoo.com” in settings.
I use that email for my personal email, but the google account that it was the alternate email for is long gone. Even when I try to login to google using it, google says they have no info connected with it.
But thanks for your help.

It appears to be random, with no apparent connection in response to any particular action on my part, but happens a lot. Message is something like “Enter your google password”. Happened this am, but was busy working, so didn’t have time to reply. I’ll try to get a screenshot.
Yes, I am positive I deleted it, removed 2 factor authentication, then completely deleted the entire account, although I never had much anyway. I’ve also tried to login, and google cannot find any account or record of same.
You tell me! It just says enter your google password, and as I said, I don’t even have a google account, I completely deleted it some time ago.
Password for what? Email, youtube? More clarification.
No gmail, no YouTube account, no google anything!
Where is this message being shown?
Pop up, center of screen
Is this just a random event that you get this pop up? What is the exact message of this pop up?
Are you positive that you deleted it? Maybe your google account is at risk and it’s bugged to ask you to enter your passcode.
I
Go to Settings->Passwords & Accounts, is your Google account still listed there?
It is not listed in Keychain, I tried numerous searches to be sure, and then a line by line search, but nothing.
The location I suggested also holds accounts set up for email, contacts, calendar etc...
One of those may still be your Google account.
