The phone wants to use the gmail address to log into my samsung account
I did not create a samsung account with my gmail address.

This is done when your notes is booted and handshakes with the Google servers, interestingly Gmail and Google docs suite is quite like the pre-copilot Microsoft 365 suite equivalent. And... the server paths used to complete your specific task and this example will include old server hierarchy hidden away never really changed... just repositioned in coding structure

Do you use legacy software and the native version installed in each. Are you using the same model and trim..For example, when it was a product...outlook express vs Outlook vs outlook.com vs outlook 365...

Does it want you to log in with your GMail account, or asking you to log in with Google? Two different things. You can Log into your Samsung account using Google or with your Samsung credentials. If your phone is signed into your Google account, it's already linked to your Samsung account, regardless of whether you used GMail as your Samsung account. You can tap the popup to log in with Google, ir you can dismiss that popup and log in with your Samsung credentials.

no popup is presented.

Samsung granting permission to use my gmail credentials is way WRONG.

Samsung offers it as an alternative login.  Samsung and Google have a symbiotic relationship.  Samsung is NOT the only entity that allows you to log in with Google.   

 

This is the DoorDash option:  Many sites will give you this option, you can choose another login method besides Google.  You can do it with Samsung as well.  I do it all the time, the sign in with Google page comes up and I dismiss it and log in with my credentials.  If you are seeing a screen similar to the second picture, just put in the email address that you created your Samsung account with and hit next and then you will be prompted for your password.

Thank you for your response....

I know many things allow for gmail login..

I DID NOT LOG INTO SAMSUNG WITH A GMAIL ADDRESS....

It appears the samsung **bleep** stole my gmail/android connection .

I did not enter a password for samsung.... If my gmail password was used it is a privacy violation.

So, i have removed most all samsung **bleep** on the phone.....
