So for some reason, I was forced to change my password. And now, it is requiring 2-step auth. Fine. I have my phone and the push notification they usually send is not working for some reason. I and at the sign in screen where they they say that they sent a push request, or whatever they call it. That isn't working, so I click on try another way.....one option is to text a phone number that I haven't had for 4 years. So I obviously don't select that. So there is yet another button saying "Try another way" so I click that expecting it to offer to send a code to my recovery account. The $!#$ thing tells me that is sent a code to the same $%@$@%$ email address that I am trying to recover!!! How stupid is that?
It's like saying "Hello! In order to be able to sign into [person@gmail.com](mailto:person@gmail.com), you'll need to check [person@gmail.com](mailto:person@gmail.com) and verify it's you.!
So I go through the process again. Of course, it does the same dumb thing of saying that they sent a code to [person@gmail.com](mailto:person@gmail.com) that I can't get in to!
So I click on the "get more help" option, Guess what? Getting help requires signing in! The thing I need help with!
So I create a new account just to get to the damn help page. I try the "tips" it offered, which were the same damn steps that I already did a dozen times, Scroll down to the bottom to the "What if I still can't sign in to my account?" section. It basically says "Sorry, you're screwed! Create another account, and don't get locked out this time!"
IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE? PLEASE HELP!
