It’s been some years that I am not able to log in to my Google account, because I stopped using it for a very long time any Google product, and now even providing my password, they say they can not know if it is me or now…

They send me to this support page which seems like I have lost my account with all the data and stuff I had from when I was younger…

I don’t think this is normal or ethic to do (I know Google has been never ethic), but this makes me so angry because I never wanted to lose all that data…

Do they basically know every people networks? And if you don’t let them know… you lose access to Google? … 😠

    Yeah, GitHub spammed my mailbox asking me to add 2FA but Google no… they are asking for my Wi-Fi network. 😞 And I’m not sure if I can even provide it to them now that I can’t log in again… I will keep trying it next month…

      Good luck to you. I’ve seen this happen a few times and I’ve never heard of anyone who successfully recovered an account with this type of lockout situation.
