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

    I believe I should have the say in how I want to secure my account. Not the companies

    Then roll your own email server and start hosting it yourself.

      Hmmm I wonder who the single person who downvoted you was. Reckon OP is upset by the reality check on their entitlement…
