Damn terrible! Asking you for a phone number (privacy violation!!!) " to confirm you're human" 🙄 and when you give them one that's on your actual simcard, they say "it has been used too many times" Well, I have bought the simcard and I have never used it with gmail?! So you have just wasted my time with nonsense and made me dislike you a little bit more
I have a Google account. It is my account, and no, I haven’t been hacked. I know the email address and password, and no one else has access to the password. I have not violated any guidelines. However, despite all this, as of recently, whenever I try to log in, I get an error message that says:“Verify it’s you. We noticed unusual activity in your Google Account. To keep your account safe, you were signed out. To continue, you’ll need to verify it’s you.”When I go through the “Account Recovery” steps and enter the correct email, password, and verification code, I receive another error message.“You didn’t provide enough info for Google to be sure this account is really yours.”The suggestions help page suggests adding a recovery phone number to receive texts or enabling two-step verification. However, I cannot do either because I cannot log into the account to make any changes. If I attempt the “Account Recovery” process, it sends me into an endless loop, repeatedly asking for the email and password and always resulting in the same error messages. I have had this issue for several days. After searching on the Internet, I found numerous discussions on this issue. The most appalling part is that there is no team to help you.Volunteers offer identical, unhelpful responses; this constitutes your sole recourse. Redundant security proves unhelpful without staff. I’m flabbergasted at the quality of this service. I had this same annoying issue two years ago, and I barely managed to restore it, but now there are no chances to bring it back. Getting my old YouTube account back would be fantastic; however, it’s impossible. I had no other choice but to switch to Outlook and forget about Google. After I finish this review, I will update my account to avoid this frustration. Thank you for nothing!
I keep getting trackers from untrustworthy companies so I have to use duck mail, but if a company gets my real email then I can't see if there are any trackers. I'm worried most about privacy because I don't feel comfortable giving google the right to put all my mail on the cloud and I would rather it all go to my computer.
I am usually a sceptic about storing personal data with other companies as well as with using them in relation to my personal accounts. Somehow I have developed a level of trust with Google over the years so I started using gmail login. So recently I opened a new email account just to set up my company before I move to paid services. I used this account to create accounts to few services, like DigitalOcean, Namecheap, Mailchimp etc.. I even implemented Google login on my company website and wanted to implement google pay. Few weeks into usage Google blocks my account and asks for verification. I couldn't access any of my accounts during this period. Google customer support is close to none. After a day or two of freaking out, I resorted to using my friends mobile phone to verify my account which seems absolutely absurd to me. Needless to say, after this incident I created a Proton email account and started migrating everything. Less than a month later, Gmail does it again. I almost didn't even use my email account and it was marked as suspicious. I tried the same routine, but this time my friends phone didn't work. I tried both my phone numbers again but I never received a verification code. I have tried with 6 mobile numbers and same thing happened. In the end they were all marked as not accepted because they were used. I read their documentation through and through. It even stated that in an event there is an issue like mine you should initiate an audit. Of course I did not have this option. Even though I added my other email as a verification email, I couldn't use it as a verification method.I finally managed to access my account on DigitalOcean thanks to their sensible support. As far as Gmail/Google goes, my trust in the company is depleted. When Chrome asks me to save a password I imagine what would have happened if I ever stored my passwords with my Gmail account and I get the chills. I was once proud to use google services, now I am embarrassed. I would assume the company had grown too large and bad employees had taken over producing illogical and idiotic products. I hope to see Google regain their former glory as I once saw it. I miss old days of Google..
