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

    So you did this to yourself, and have the audacity to complain.

    This post is basically what the Lemmy community has become, in a nutshell. I thought there would be a mass exodus from Reddit but it seems like the only people who came here and stayed are far out on the fringe. Between this kind of stuff and “I refuse to own a car because the infotainment system is not open source!”, I find myself more and more gravitating back to Reddit for some normality… which is a hell of a thing to say.
