Eliminate Google Accounts on sign in, but still be able to view TB email

I was trying to transfer my TB profile from one computer to a new one. On the new one, I inadvertently checked to sign in with a Google account.

Now, the only way to see my mail is by signing in through Google Accounts. True, the preceding page gives me the option of DENYing to sign in with Google Accounts or continuing to sign in wit Google Accounts. But if I choose DENY, the same page just re-appears. I cannot see my TB. Only way to see contents of my TB is to sign in with Google Accounts.

Can anyone tell me how to sign into TB, eliminating Google Accounts, and yet see my TB?

I may be misunderstanding. Generally, if this is a Gmail account, Google requires a signin to see the account. What am I not understanding? Thank you.

David,

T have had this same TB-Gmail account for at least 8 years, and have not received security emails during this period. But since I inadvertently said to let Google Accounts look in TB as a sign-in, I have been receiving daily security emails.

I don't think it's W11 since I installed other programs with no security emails. Those security emails began after I tried to install TB.
