Discussion Tell HN: Lost then regained access to Google account, with correct credentials "Google couldn’t verify this account belongs to you."I clear cookies once in a while and usually can recover my account but this time, no option to recover: https://i.imgur.com/vb1mliN.pngEven if I have the correct login and password.Luckily, I forward all my emails to a 3rd party so I should still be able to read my new mail but I lost access to a lot of other stuff.Edit: Account recovered. I used chromium to login (which I never do) and then back to Firefox. 150 points authed 4 years ago 143 comments
