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

    even with the password as it’s locked into requiring 2fa or some bullshit

    I wonder if this is what I’m dealing with - does it tell you it needs 2fa, or just refuse to log you in? I’ve been locked out of my old main gmail (no 2fa set up) for a while and would really like to get some stuff out of it before they automatically delete the lot… 😕
