This saved me during my big scare about a year ago when I suddenly found myself locked out of an important account with no way to get back in (phone number was old and inaccessible). The password was fine, they just didn't believe it was me for some reason.
A few months later it suddenly worked again, and I seized that opportunity to move permanently away from gmail. I was lucky. I do not want my access to my online identity to be governed by luck, however, so really advise anyone who will listen to make the move before this kind of sob story happens to them.
"It won't happen to me" - I thought that too, and no doubt so did the OP. Won't it? How much will it cost you if you're wrong?
It now costs me $50/yr to know it won't happen to me and I'm more than happy to pay a fair price for a good product, like I do for everything else.
