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

    Times simular to your exaggeration will come and people will say “But it’s their service! If you want to use it, you have to follow their rules”. Not understanding that they’re slowly handing over control over their lives because we live in a modern time where everything is about technology. Sad to see how many people don’t understand this and disagree with me when I say that I’m infuriated over this.
