This will definitely solve the confusion for some Gmail users who reset Google Account password instead of AdSense password as currently, even if you use Gmail address to login to AdSense, it’s not necessary linked and associated with the Google Account.
After switching over to login with Google Account, there are plenty of benefits, most importantly is once you sign in to Google Account, you will automatically and directly come to AdSense stats page, instead of having to sign in again. Others, as Google says, “Your AdSense login signs you into AdSense. A Google Account signs you into all things Google.”
If you’re still login with AdSense ID, you will reach a page stating the following message:
