Why doesn't Google or Yahoo try to stop hackers?

I'm wondering why Gmail or Yahoo mail doesn't automatically lock if someone tries to access your account illegally and enters the wrong password more than a few times or accesses the email from an untrusted/unfamiliar computer. Most accounts (such as Paypal, banks, etc) will lock at least temporarily if you enter the password wrong as they assume you are being hacked. It might be an inconvenience to try to recover an email account but at least that would be better than having it hacked.

They will send a text to your mobile phone if you have one listed. Isn't that good enough?

You can use 2 level password for google. I don't know about yahoo.

BTW, how do you think google or yahoo will know if it is accessed by hacker or genuine user ?

They will know because the IP address of the computer will not be the same. On some websites such as Runescape you can specify a trusted user computer and only that computer can login to game and all other computers are blocked. And, this prevents hacking. To add a trusted computer, you have to login to the main website (versus the game) from the computer you want to add. I'm wondering why Yahoo and Gmail can't have this same feature.

After a few wrong tries with your username/password, Gmail will make you enter the CAPTCHA code. Have you ever actually tried to enter your login wrong ten times? Maybe the account locks after that time.

I don't think you can predict a user based on ip. I say this because I've dynamic ip, whenever I reset my modem I get new ip. So, how will they know if I'm same user or a hacker ?

Maybe Google should have a code in addition to your password that you will have to enter. It could be based on something texted to your phone or sent to an alternate email address. That could be one more layer of protection from hacking.

They are trying to do their best to stop hackers... when they detect suspicious sign in, they send you emails..

I'm sure they must have sent me an email when someone illegally access my Gmail account, but I don't remember receiving it. There was a message of suspicious login at the top of my Gmail box and I investigated it.

Yes, I agree with the opinion of "andgkj". You can use 2 step verification method for more secure in Gmail.
