Someone recently created a MoneyLion account using my Gmail address. I've reached out to them and had the account removed. Additionally, I've changed my Google password and checked my login activity, finding no suspicious access. My concern is whether it's possible for someone to create an account just using my email, or does this indicate they might have had access to my Google account?

You only need an email address to register for services like that. Companies usually require you to confirm your email by clicking a link, which helps verify access. Since you've changed your password, you should be fine! Just a heads up, enabling two-factor authentication on your Google account can add extra security.
I have 2FA set up, but the only email I got was a confirmation saying 'thanks for creating an account.' I didn't receive any other links or confirmations; it felt a bit odd since MoneyLion deals with finances. Appreciate your help!
