Google Logged Me Out
6 points by nshung 753 days ago
Today, I removed my account from Google Chrome profile. Tried to create a new one in the same Chrome. Logged in with correct credentials and suddenly I got the message that said Google does not believe that the account belong to me.

I tried to recover the account with the secondary email address. I got the following image[1] which says it will take 30 days to get re-activation link.

What can I do here? I have everything to prove that I own the account. Now I cannot access Gitlab, Clickup and other services where I use Google sign in.

Wow. Thanks for the warning.

What possible excuse can Google have for such a long delay?

They don’t need to have excuses. They can do whatever they want for no good reason. It’s a waste of time to try to understand their actions. Better just stop using all of their services.
I don’t know what you can do now, but in the future you can degoogle your life to solve issues like these.
This is frightening.
