Detailed explanation-1: -Yes, ignore them. First off these could be phishing attempts trying to coerce you into giving your password to a malicious actor (i.e. hacker). Secondly, see if changing your username stops the emails. If it doesn’t then try changing your associated email address.
Detailed explanation-2: -If you keep getting asked to change your password, someone may be trying to get into your account using harmful software. We strongly recommend that you: Update your anti-virus software and use it to scan your computer. Remove unwanted software or malware.
Detailed explanation-3: -Anyone who can log in to your gmail, can change things, but you will get a notification of the changes on your recovery email and phone of the change so you can stop the change before it’s permanent.
