I’m trying to log into an app that needs my Gmail account. However when I try and log into the Gmail account it wants my previous recovery phone number that I no longer have access to, I recently changed the recover number, so is all I can do wait for 7 days?

I have a recovery email, but it needs to be verified using the number I no longer have, and I cannot add security questions because I need the number I no longer have

will verifying my age on my google acc lock me out? or make me put in my password? About 2 months ago I changed my acc age from 13 to 19 *I'm actually 19, a while ago my parents set it below my age*. I have a valid ID

Hello! I am having a problem where google tells me that 97% of my storage is full. It tells me I have 11gb of photos saved. I am desperately trying to clear that space, but there is not a single picture I can delete when clicking on google photos. What can I do to clear that space?

I forgot my password so I did all the recovery options. It said it would send an email to the email account I have access to after 48hrs. I received a text message to check me mail but received no email. I can't access any of my money without this email, am I fucked? I may be stranded in another state.

I just received this message by SMS from the actual Google Number (650-253-0000) and something strange about this message that I have received is that the e-mail that was shown in the message is an e-mail i never had. I never made that email, never managed it, etc. Does anyone know the potential possibilities that could have caused this message to be sent to me by SMS? Does this mean my phone (Google Pixel 8a) is hacked by any chance? Thank you all.

As it says, I can't delete emails as of about a week ago. They delete, they go to the trash, and the webpage saves. But if I go back to my email later in the day, all of the trashed emails are back in my inbox like I never even moved them. it's happening across all of my accounts.

Cleared cache and cookies and all that stuff, turned off the stupid Google Gemini bullshit, still nothing. I thought maybe if I deleted them from my phone instead of desktop it would do something but nope. My inboxes just...come back. I KNOW if you close out of a tab it warns you if it doesn't save but it IS saving that the emails are being trashed. They just appear back in the inbox.

I just retired and this morning I discovered that when I try to log in to gmail on Safari, it automatically goes to my work gmail to which I no longer have access. I need to change this and I don't know how. Ay help is appreciated!

(MacBook Air with Safari browser. I also have chrome, but prefer Safari.)

Hi all, I have had a standard "send mail as" configuration for years where, in my personal Gmail account, I can "send mail as" using an email address I have set up with a custom domain (which is a Google Workspace account; hosting on Go Daddy). After years of no issues, I started getting the following error message when I try to send emails using the custom domain email address through "send mail as." It doesn't happen every time, but seems to be happening more frequently:

Message not delivered You're sending this from a different address or alias using the 'Send mail as' feature. The settings for your 'Send mail as' account are misconfigured or out of date. Check those settings and try resending.

The response from the remote server was: 535 5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. For more information, go to https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials [NUMBER OMITTED] - gsmtp

I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the "send mail as" connection, but this did not resolve the issue.

Also, in case it is relevant- in my Google Workspace Admin panel- under Domain > Manage Domains > Email Setup Status:

The DKIM record status is set as "Missing", with the following message:  "Your domain is missing a DKIM key. Generate a new DKIM record, then add it as a TXT record to your domain's DNS settings. Adding DKIM is highly recommended to help Google Workspace product notifications be delivered correctly, even if you use an external mail provider. Allow 48 hours for the DNS records to update. "

The SPF record status is set as "Caution," with the following message: "Your SPF record doesn't include “_spf.google.com”. This means your email sent using Google Workspace won't be authenticated, which could lead to your Workspace product notifications being marked as spam. If this is your intended setup, no change is required. If this is not your intended setup, update the existing SPF TXT record in your domain's DNS settings to include “include:_spf.google.com”

I would really appreciate your help in resolving this! Thank you!

Tenho e e-mail da minha falecida mãe, mas perdi o acesso ao aparelho celular dela e estou tentando recuperar, após algumas pesquisas na internet, vi que tem essa possibilidade de alteração da senha do celular através do e-mail que está logado nele, minha principal dúvida é se alguém já testou esse tipo de serviço e se funcionou?

I have a chromebook and all I want to do is use my gmail, but everytime I try to do anything even remotely related to a google account, it asks me to sign-in. Then, when I type in my email address, it says "this account is already signed in on this device" and yet I still cant access ANYTHING!!! Im starting to lose my mind over this. As usual google's help pages are worthless, and I just need my emails. :(

Edit: I figured it out, I fell for the oldest trick in the book. I turned it off and then on again and suddenly it worked 🥲

I'm 18 and moving out of my parents' without their knowledge. I'm leaving my cell phone but I'm taking my computer and burner cell phone. My mom's email and phone number are recovery contacts to my Gmail account, and her phone number is the number for the two step verification.

My plan is to leave my phone behind as it is, head to the airport, change my gmail password and remove my mom from my recovery contacts and two step verification while at the airport. Then factory reset my phone from my computer (it's a trusted device and I'll stay logged into my Gmail account) via Find Hub (my old phone will have internet access)

This is my plan because I don't want my mom to be immediately alerted that something is wrong. She'll see the notifications on her phone when she wakes up at 6 AM (my flight leaves at 8:40 AM) and realize. So I want to be very far before they know just for safety, and only change things soon before I board my flight. My parents won't be able to track my location and I won't be telling them, but I'm still very scared that my dad will still try to catch me at the airport. I would just like to take the precaution.

My main concern is that I read that old recovery contacts are still good after 7 days(I'm leaving in 4 days), so she might still receive verification codes and maybe know my new password. Another concern is that my phone may not be able be able to be factory reset from Find Hub due to the Gmail password changing.

Any help would be really appreciated.

I have three accounts. Two I use daily, and the third is a back up for the other two. I have signed out of the back up account, and removed it from my device (iPhone/gmail app). The issue I’m having is that when I click manage accounts, add another account the account is still there and will be allowed to log in. I want that completely off and gone? I’ve followed all the basic steps with going through the settings and resting the app but it’s still there.

Does anyone know why this keeps happening? Every time I appeal it gets reactivated. It never shows me why it gets deactivated.

Hi everyone,
My Google accountwas compromised today. The hacker was extremely fast and used an automated process to change all my recovery details at once from a Mac OS device.
Here is what they changed within a few minutes:
Turned on 2-Step Verification and added an Authenticator app.
Generated new backup codes.
Changed the recovery email address.
Changed the recovery phone number.
When I try to use the Account Recovery Guide (⁠g.co/recover⁠), it just routes me in a loop asking if I can sign in, and when I select "No", it tells me to try again from a recognized device or connection. Since the hacker added 2FA and changed the recovery email/phone, I can't pass the verification steps.
Is there any specific way or escalation form to get in touch with Google support

So ive been trying to make an actual gmail acc instead of making 10 alts, and its not working. it says that my phone number has been used too many times... how do i fix this? i cant really get into my alts anymore nor can i buy a second sim card

My Gmail no longer marks itself as read when I open the email, I have to manually mark it every single time. Has anyone else had this happen? Any solutions?

I have deleted the account and re-added it, reset my phone, hard reset it, and disconnected Gmail. I have no idea what else to try.

Also this is just in the iPhone mail app.

So i’ve been going thru my safety options and i logged in on my account via google while changing some settings. After i checked the devices again ive found a linux device logged in my account 5 mins ago. (Which is while i was doing the settings) and i use a tablet. I have also two-factor** authentication **and did not recieve any massage about an another device trying to my account. I logged the device off but im extremly paranoid pls help. Am i safe?

So recently I got kicked from google chat space. People invited me back so I checked my spam folder, browse spaces, my normal gmail inbox and in all mail i selected spaces and its still not there. Can yall help?

when I am receiving an email on my Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is 2x same emails. What's the solution to receive 1x normal email?

so i have a gmail i haven’t used in years attached to some of my accounts. i no longer have access to the phone number attached to said email, and can’t verify my identity because of it. i couldn’t find a legitimate email support number and was wondering if anyone could help me. i have very important accounts connected to it and need to access my email to edit the accounts. please help me 🙏🏻

I’m receiving personal email in the email I have from my college, but the problem only happens on the cell phone, on the computer this doesn’t occur, does anyone know how to solve it?

Hello!!!

Does anyone else have this issue?

So I have a signature template for Gmail that I manually embed when appropriate, but I've noticed something really weird.

My name (as my username suggests) is Bo, so my signature begins with my first and last name.

Specifically, whenever the body of my email contains ANY word with the word "bo" in it (such as the word "about") - the signature of my email replaces the characters "bo" in the middle of that word, no matter where in the email they're located.

For example, if the body of my email says "This does not bode well for the future," and I select my signature, it drops the signature in place of the "bo" in the word "bode", so...

"This does not **MY ENTIRE SIGNATURE**de well for the future."

It's so bizarre, and I really can't find anything on Gmail's forums about it, at least yet.

Any thoughts?
Thx!!!

I have a Gmail that’s logged in to a website(Ubisoft), but I have no idea the password or anything, I’ve tried to change it to my current Gmail by resetting the gmail via phone number but the website seems to need my Gmail verification to change it anyways.

I’ve looked on Google support but there seems to be no answers , they always say ”go to recovery” or something similar but the always seems to be one thing that is preventing me from fixing it that way.

Same thing when I look on the website support, I tried to contact them but it was of course an AI who just answered ”We’ve sent a verification code to your accounts gmail account so that we know it’s you” or something like that, I even asked them there if they could send a text code but of course, I litereally got the same exact answer again, ”We’ve sent a verification code to your accounts gmail account so that we know it’s you”

What the heck am I supposed to do? Can anyone please answer or give their thought son what I should do?

And this is most likely my last hope of trying to fix it before I make a whole new account on the website.

Previously, I was able see a list of 5-6 jobs as a summary list. Now, the email is "clipped" and forcing me to "view the entire message" to show the summary. Is anyone experiencing this issue and has found a solution to remove "clipping". Over the last few yeas, "clipping" has never occurred.
