I already read this post.I'm feeling hopeless about one of my Gmail accounts. I still use it via a different webclient (Zoho Mail). Now, my goal was to change this provider and use this Gmail account via another client, but it turns out my password manager has an older password. The email client (Zoho) cant give out passwords.I have one of my older passwords.I have the date of when I received my first email on that account (which might not be the date I created the account, I also tried answering the month before that).I have the recovery email address, but that service provider has closed down, so I cant make a new account.I did successfully provide the 6-digit verification code.I have access to emails on this Gmail account. So I can read and send emails.The only possible solution I have thought of and haven't tried is to buy the domain of my recovery email and set up my own email service, but this is way beyond how much I need that email account. I tried Google password recovery numerous times in different ways and it has been extremely frustrating. So many captchas. I've spent days of my valuable time on this. I would be more understanding if it were something like me not wanting to give them my phone number or something like that. But this entirely bad design.If only there were a way to switch all the sites and people I have given this email to, to something else. I would never use Google again. They have been extremely annoying on many occasions with my other email accounts too. Private browse, reinstalling OS, traveling, using Gmail via other providers - they cause problems with all of these. All the while I've never had a single actual attack on my accounts. Ever.Does anyone have any ideas?
