Didn't realise this was a common problem. My gmail address has about 9 filters with ~100 terms each. Would be nice if Google automatically had an allow list with countries where I will accept account recoveries requests from.

Worst though is that PayPal created an account for another person with my email address. Apparently they don't send out the initial prove-your-ownership email. Still unresolved because PayPal refuses to believe me that I own the address, even though they don't even want to send a test email.

I get multiple account recovery requests per day. Google should have a good idea that they are not coming from me based on where I'm declining them from and where I log in correctly from, but they still spam me with those requests. I don't know if Advanced Protection blocks those requests, but I'm not willing to give up access to F-Droid just because Google can't be bothered to fix its account recovery process.

Oh man, I have the exact same problem with PayPal allowing another person to create an account with my email address!

I've been talking to their support people on-and-off for months now and they seem utterly incapable of resolving an issue like this.
