Users report being locked out of Google accounts despite correct passwords
Original: Ask HN: Locked out of Google despite knowing password and having email access
A discussion on Hacker News asks what to do when Google locks a person out of their account even though they know the password and still have access to their recovery email. Commenters are swapping experiences with Google's account recovery process, its automated security flags, and the difficulty of reaching human support, with many describing long waits or permanent loss of email, photos and documents.
Why now: Account lockouts by Google's automated security systems are a common and frustrating problem with little recourse, so personal stories draw wide sympathy and advice.
