Ask HN: Google just kicked me out of my account, no option to verify
Earlier today, I got logged out from one of my devices (Macbook Pro ) on Chrome. I thought it was not a big deal so I tried signing in again but then it asked me to verify my phone number which I did not have at the moment, my phone's screen had just broken and it was gone for repair. Eventually, Google just gave up on my device when it even stopped asking me to verify. I tried clearing cookies, switching VPN on/off, restarting my system, using location spoof but literally nothing helped and now I'm just locked out of my own account on one of the devices. Not sure what to do next. 2 comments on Hacker News.
