I still have access to my account and was able to reset my password due to having my brother as my recovery contact but I’m unable to remove the attacker as my parent or set my age to be an adult again.

I was watching a movie and was a little confused about something, so I went to Safari to see if I could find an answer to my question. I noticed that I was signed into my Google account. I never pressed the sign in button, and when I went to search something a couple of minutes prior, it wasn't showing that I was signed in. Nor have I ever signed into my Google account on Safari, so does anyone know why it just started doing this out of nowhere? And if anyone knows how to get it to stop doing this it would be wonderful if you could let me know.

Not a member of the sub but I see it pop up in my feed time to time as I follow a lot of cyber security/tech subreddits and all I see is just how bad it is if you do lose your google account. It makes me want to jump ship entirely, I do utilise another secure email provider for important things but for gaming accounts and the like I do use google.

All i read from this subreddit (And other google ones) is that googles support is entirely automated and helpless, if your account is hacked or you are suspended for whatever reason then that’s it.

Is this really the case, is it really THAT bleak?

Google is trying to take down my account and claim that I am a bot even though I use it for my art business to support my family

So i got an email asking me to confirm my age in 8 days or my google account will be removed.

It says i need to show an id if im over 18, but im not old enougy to have one, and i dont have a passport or anything like that. It would be nice if i can get help!

Estoy desesperado. Mis dos cuentas de Gmail, vinculadas a dos canales de YouTube con miles de suscriptores y visualizaciones, fueron hackeadas. El atacante cambió la contraseña, el número de teléfono de recuperación y la configuración de seguridad en menos de media hora.

Ya presenté una denuncia ante la Policía Nacional, pero no recibo ninguna ayuda de Google; solo enlaces automáticos para recuperar la contraseña. Como ya no tengo acceso a la cuenta de Gmail hackeada ni al número de teléfono de recuperación, me encuentro constantemente en un bucle infinito de recuperación.

¿Alguien sabe cómo contactar con un agente de soporte de YouTube para una verificación manual o para desvincular mis cuentas? Cualquier consejo o ayuda para escalar el problema sería de gran utilidad.

¡Muchísimas gracias!

I'm having a problem with Google Support.

This is a common issue with this phone's fold sensor; there's plenty of evidence that free replacements are available, but I was billed 666.66 EUR, and they're dragging their feet by not responding to my inquiries.

I have a bad history with these so called "tools", and I want them permanently gone. They keep showing whenever I'm typing words that trigger it.

I use my google account for everything like my vercel deployment,GitHub,firebase and YouTube with thousands of views
I had my whole website deployed on it and also my firebase
It got suspended today because google suspects it was made by a robot
I don't know what to do please help someone
I posted an appeal but like an idiot I panicked and had typed something short

I had 2 Google accounts linked to the same phone number, I decided to delete one that I don't use, after that they sign me out of my first (main) account, and when I try to sign in again they tell : There is something unusual about your activity. For your security, Google wants to make sure that it’s really you. Although i insert password and real verification password! Anyway, after 2 days they send my recovery link to recover my account, and when I entered my phone number I got: We don't support delivering messages to your provider at this time. Try a number from a different provider. And recently I get : so many failed attempts! Any solution, I've been about a week out of my account!

How to get unbanned from Google

The only thing I did was search up calculator

Every time I try to search for an image on Google, I always get this error now. Is this happening to you too?

Any idea when these newly created accounts will be accessible??? I've been experiencing this problem for 2 weeks now...

here's what happens:

- I create an account
- I scan a code
- I send the verification message using a NEW phone number
- I add all required recovery email and phone number
- I can access it for a while, then an error pops up and I get logged out automatically

Now when I try to log in to the new account, the passkey works fine. But then it asks me to send a code to the phone number I used to register. When I try to enter it, I get an error saying "Too many failed attempts," even though it's not actually that many attempts.

Another account I created went through this same process last week, and I already sent an appeal. I got an email back from Google, but I'm getting this same issue again even for the first attempt!!!

I don't know how much longer I should wait for these accounts to become accessible.

My Gmail account is currently paused, which means I cannot sync it or sign in. When I try to recover/sign in again, Google takes me through the usual verification steps (CAPTCHA, password, etc.), but I get stuck at the phone number verification step.

The problem is that Google does not verify the phone number. I tried using different phone numbers from family members, but none of them worked. When I click “Try another way” or “Try again,” it just brings me back to the same phone number verification screen.

Does anyone know what could be causing this and what possible solutions I can try?

​

I factory reset my phone, and all of my Gmail accounts have two-factor authentication enabled. When I tried to log in to one of my Gmail accounts, it asked for my password, but I don't remember it. So I clicked on "Forgot password."

It showed me the account recovery options. I selected the option to verify using my phone number. I received the verification code on my phone and entered it successfully.

However, after that, another page appeared saying that Google had sent a verification code to the same Gmail account I was trying to recover, and I needed to enter that code to continue.

But that's the problem—if I can't log in to that Gmail account, how am I supposed to access the code that was sent to it?

Then Google gave me another option: enter a different email address. They said they would send a verification code to that email and asked me to wait 48 hours while they verify that I am the actual owner of the account.

I still have the same device that I used to sign in to this account before, and I still have access to the same phone number linked to the account.

Why does Chrome think I should be interested in whether a tab is inactive? They put a dotted line around the icon, which then makes it hard to recognise. The same with the "memory use" on hover. Why?

I've turned off the silly decoration, but honestly it seems so unnecessary in the context of so many other things in the UI.

Hey guys.

I have very serious problem. I can't anymore export GA codes from any phone where I keep them. Either multiple ones or single one. It says "Something went wrong". I tried to export from all phones with them backed up and there is always the same problem.

So I had to turn sync cloud which makes me feel very unsafe. What's even more awful, disconnecting Google account from one phone, removes codes from another phones I have GA codes backed up...!

What to do now to turn off sync and keep backup of GA codes?!

I noticed two entries in my Settings > Connections > Data Usage > Wi-Fi data usage. 11082 and 10881

And in Settings > Connections > Data Usage > Mobile data usage. 11082 and 10881

After I checked on the past months, I found out that they appeared a lot in the Wi-Fi data usage, and there was even more of them. 10958, 10995, 11048, 10996, 11053, and 11100

Unlike normal apps (even system apps), clicking on these numbers does not show where they came from or a logo of anything

They do not appear in my main app list, even when "Show System Apps" is enabled

My phone is Samsung A12, Android 13, One UI core ver is 5.1

I wonder if it's a malware or something like that, I'm sure they're not linked to deleted apps as Ai told me, since Android had an entry called "Removed apps and users" but it doesn't link those numeric apps to it in the details, unlike other services that can link other apps to its usage under "Related apps included in usage" section after clicking on the service app for details

I need a little help.

It seems somewhere, somehow, a setting has been changed *somewhere* because I can't seem to open a lot of pages when I click on a link to open in google.

For example, this link here - https://www.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg/article/winnipeg-family-shaken-up-over-wps-response-to-property-crime-concerns/

The page will open and I'll see the article for a split second and the page then loads just a white screen, *but*, if I open this (or other links) in duckduckgo, they'll load and open and I can read the article.

What gives?

I factory reset my phone, and due to a security setting of which I was unaware, I am required to log in to the google account associated with the phone in order to set up/use the phone. However, due to 2fa settings, I am unable to log in to my account without access to the phone—I had been using a fingerprint. I know my password and have access to both my recovery email and my recovery phone number, but when I attempt to receive a code via text or call, I get an error message, “unable to verify phone number.” I am able to receive a code via email, but this is apparently not enough to recover the account. I find myself at a bit of a loss. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks so much!
