3 working days not just 3 days.

And you think they're going to send it eventually?

OmoOduduwa01:
I wiped my phone few weeks ago and had the same problem. I tried all means but all proved abortive, I was just surprised on the 5th day when I received a Gmail on my recovery Gmail address...

It's true bro, just chillax

Did you also get the response "unfortunately, Google cannot verify you're the owner of the account?"

What mail did you receive? Was it password recovery link?

socialmediaman:
@tosyne2much my guess is that it has to do with IP address. It’s possible the geo location you registered the account is different from the location you’re trying the recover the account. You may have to reach out to google through the support forums and provide them some more details

The recovery mail and phone number is still intact and I can still receive the recovery code but the response I get when I input the recovery code sent to my phone number is "you can't sign in on this device"


But the response I get when I use the recovery code sent to my recovery mail is "sorry Google can't verify you as the owner of the account"

famousroland:
If you can get ur old phone for 30 minutes, use it to recover ur account, also do that in a location you normally stay to login the most.

I'm currently in the same location where I normally login my account with the old device

ITbomb:
Find a PC and recover your account.
Forget all these phone phone stuff

That will be my next action after waiting for 48 hours

WuzzyTech:
For your own good I hope you turned synch on, so did you turn synch on? Did you synchronized your chrome to your email address?

Yes I synched it bro

olusma23:
@OP did you receive any text code with G-digits from Google ?
Did you have a recovery email and phone number linked with your account?

If your answers are yes, and you are unable to recover your account, then leave the account for some hours and try again.
But of your answers are No, forget the account because Google won't be able to verify you as the owner.

Yes I have both recovery email and phone number and I'm receiving the G-digits code from Google

WuzzyTech:
Did you sign in with an email address on chrome?

Yes I signed in with an email on Chrome

Victornezzar:
Come and start dropping your Top10 threads before we can answer your questions

I will drop one after resolving this

WuzzyTech:
See gmail brought this policy that is affecting you about 2months ago because of Ppl that resell social media accounts and transfer of email accounts so they are thinking you bought that gmail account , but we can manipulate it, 2nd question did you use chrome?

Yeah I used chrome

WuzzyTech:
Listen carefully I would walk you through some steps, have you ever logged in on another device apart from your former phone ?

No I haven't but does that mean it won't login without the former phone?

AhlexOfficial:
So you're covering "tosyne2much@gmail.com"

Next time, cover your moniker join o... Lol

niel63:
Can I help your try the recovery?

I will be glad

ebuka10box:
Football age, if I hear say this guy no be late 50s

Na the level be that

questechie:
More reason you should always ensure you have a recovery phone number on your account, which serves as a two-factor authenticator and a stronger prove that you are who you say you are!

The funniest thing is that I have my phone number enabled as my 2fa authenticator

IIjulius:
This is indeed possible to recover... And super easy... I cam only tell you to give it time... And do not make any attempt... And do not use the same device you are trying to login again for the nest 48hours.... If you must.. change your location to the location on your last phone and it's possible...

Maybe on a laptop after waiting for the next 48 hours?

JasonScoolari:
It's really frustrating to say the least....

3-5days? Not possible.

Very frustrating!

JasonScoolari:
Same ugly experience I had two weeks ago...


I just have to create a new one after some series of unsuccessful trials.

Someone said if one waits for 3-5 days one would l receive password recovery link sent to the recovery mail but I'm not sure if that is true

Lalasticlala please help me move this to the front page for a wider audience. This is a very important mail

More screenshot

Despite inputting the code sent to my recovery email it still tells me Google can't verify me as the owner of the account

At a point I was told Google prompts have been disabled on my account

It all started when I got a new phone three days ago. I made sure I backed up my files on Google Drive before formatting and disposing my old phone

Now, I tried logging into the new device and I was told my password was incorrect. Yeah it's possible I missed some letters in my password, so I tried to recover my account using my recovery mail and recovery phone number but the response I got each I input the code sent to both my recovery mail or recovery phone number is that Google cannot verify me as the owner of the account

Guys, I have tried attempted all the recovery options yet I can't access my account. It seems my account has been locked out for some hours for suspicious activity and I have written to Google support but they seem to be replying with their normal traditional FAQ links

Please I need the gurus in the house to help me
