Yes, this is exactly why I won’t use these federated identity features of platforms like this. I have a reasonable amount of trust that they are mostly secure, but I have zero trust that they will be helpful if I ever have account troubles. What I don’t need is to have Google (etc) auth problems cascade down to every other account I own.

What's the alternative? What do you use for your base "recovery account" email?

My own domain’s email, which can easily be forwarded wherever I want.
