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'm counting the days until Google decides it "necessary" to scan our faces to log in.

    When my Instagram login got locked due to inactivity, they want my phone number rand a selfish as part of the reactivation process.

    Fuck that, it's not important enough for me to go through that kind of bullshit.
