As title says. I haven’t used my Google account for more than 3 months. Prior to abandoning my Google account, I unlinked my phone number, deleted my recovery email, and logged out every device. I also never had 2FA TOTP setup.
Today I tried logging in and it won’t let me. See video. Apparently, providing my login credentials doesn’t prove that the account belongs to me. And no, I won’t give them my phone number again to login.
I hate Google
That’s all well and good, but you can set up 2FA using an authenticator app and it won’t tie any PII to your google account
