 Hi @andraganescu ,

 First thing that comes to mind is: who do you want to show this
 notification to? I guess it makes sense to show it to all users with admin
 rights, not only to the person login in with the email that matches the
 admin email and not to users with other roles.

 How I'd see it as least intrusive: After login as an admin I'd like to to
 see a subtle reminder:

 The admin email for this website is xxx at xx.com. Is this still correct?
 Yes > don't show me this notification for the next xxx days/ don't show me
 this notification again (with warning?) and take me to wp-admin
 No > change email (via link to settings). (and trigger something after
 changing this to send a notification after xx time again)

 As for the dashboard widget, I'm not sure about that. The hierarchy in
 information on the dashboard is not very clear. I wonder how you're going
 to make this stand out on the page. Do you want to do a full width, like
 we did with the Gutenberg dashboard widget? Even then, I've found that
 people sort of ignored the info since it blends in with the rest. Also, as
 soon as people enter WP-Admin, they tend to look at the black menu on the
 left and proceed to whatever task they want to perform.

 Is it an option to build it in in the login process, before showing WP-
 admin at all? As an extra screen after hitting 'login'? I see this is your
 third idea, maybe we could include a 'not now, remind me later' option to
 that screen (which I hit a lot when I'm asked for software updates...)

 Regarding this, I can also imagine having a fallback email address
 registered, but maybe that should be a different ticket :)

 I think we have to think about how dearly we want people to check on their
 admin email. How important is it? And how often do we think is necessary
 for them to confirm to keep it up to date?
