I recently changed my password and logged out of my accounts due to someone attempting to log in with my credentials. However, I am now unable to verify my account because the two-step authentication code is being sent to an email I no longer have access to, and the linked phone number is outdated. I can provide details of the emails associated with my account. This situation has caused me to be logged out of various sites like Youtube and my mobile games. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Two days ago, my Gmail account was disabled, and I successfully appealed to have it reinstated. However, upon logging in, I am unable to get past the "Verify your Identity" page. I have tried entering my associated phone number, but it keeps stating, “Phone number cannot be used for verification.” Despite trying five different phone numbers that have not been used for verification with Google, I continue to receive the same message. It's frustrating because I was already verified through 2FA, yet I am always redirected back to the same verification page. I have exhausted different options but still encounter the error, “Phone number cannot be used for verification.” 😭

I am unable to access my Google Ads account due to a problem with the two-step verification process. Even though I try to verify my account using my phone number, Google does not send the code and simply states there is an issue. I do not have an alternative phone number and there is no skip option or other authentication methods available. Even trying to add a key through an authenticator app has not resolved the problem. I need guidance on how to proceed with the verification process or if there is a way for Google to manually send the code to my phone number.

I am having trouble accessing my Gmail account [redacted] due to not being able to log in with the outdated backup emails. I now primarily use my school email and can receive codes through my phone number but not through the backup email. I am willing to answer security questions, but the "try another way" option does not provide me with that choice. There are important ticket confirmations in that email that I need for an upcoming trip.

Hello admin, I recently created a new Gmail account and used it for a few days before being locked out. Upon submitting an appeal, I regained access within a day and was asked to verify my account by adding a phone number. However, when I tried multiple phone numbers, I received an error message stating, "This Phone Number Can Not Be Used." Despite trying over 10 different numbers, I faced the same issue. I am now unsure of the next steps as Gmail does not provide direct contact information for assistance. I would appreciate any advice on how to proceed and regain access to my account. Thank you.

I used to have a GMail account with Two-Step Verification. Unfortunately, the second step of verification was linked to a previous phone number that I no longer have access to due to a damaged battery. Is there any way for me to regain access to my GMail account with Two-Step Verification? I haven't deleted the account and it hasn't been too long since I last used it.
I've tried the Google account recovery options but haven't had any success without delving into complex technical solutions. I'm hesitant to give up on this as I've written 27 chapters of a historical-fiction story over a year and would like to continue working on it. If there's no solution, please inform me. Thank you for any assistance. - Josh

I am having trouble logging into my Gmail account due to the two-step verification process. I do not have another device to use for verification, like Google Photos, to tap a number. Even though I have my current number listed as a secondary option for a code, I am not receiving one for some reason. The email address I am experiencing this issue with is [redacted] This is causing me a problem because all my work-related information is linked to this account, and I have never encountered this issue before. I am completely locked out of my account.

My old Gmail account, [redacted], was hacked in August. The hacker blocked me out, changed my password and 2-step verification, and also altered my recovery email. They gained access to my other accounts through my password manager, compromising my social media, apps, and Gmail. I've attempted to recover it all, but with no success. I need assistance in reclaiming my account to secure my private information and to address the breach in my social media accounts and important apps.
