Hello Admin, I am reaching out regarding login issues I am experiencing with my email address ([redacted]). Unfortunately, my home was burglarized on 18/03/[redacted], resulting in the theft of all my electronic devices. I have since acquired a new laptop and phone and have been attempting to access my Gmail account to retrieve my backed-up data, especially my contacts. However, I keep encountering the "verify with another device" prompt during login, which poses a challenge since all my devices were stolen. Despite knowing my account password, I am unable to proceed past the verification step as my recovery codes were stored on Google Drive linked to this account. The information contained within this account is crucial to me, and I seek your assistance in resolving this issue. Thank you for your help.

Hello, I am Caryn Stonell, and my email address is [redacted] Since Friday morning, I have been experiencing issues accessing my email. Whenever I try to log in, I receive an error stating: "You appear to have no security keys registered on your account, and won't be able to sign in. To sign in on this device, go to myaccount.google.com/security on another device where you're already signed in." This message does not allow me to proceed. Even when attempting to log in using my phone number, I encounter the same problem. I am unable to answer security questions or recover my account as the verification code is being sent to the email address I cannot access. When I select "try another way," I receive a message stating, "Google couldn't verify this account belongs to you." I have tried several methods, but I am still locked out of my email. This situation is critical as my email is linked to various important accounts. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you. Caryn Stonell

A few days ago, my Instagram account was hacked. I diligently checked all my email folders but found no messages from Instagram security regarding the hacking attempt. After speaking with a helpful Facebook representative on Friday, I followed their instructions, providing my email and phone number for further assistance. I was assured I would hear from the Instagram support team within 24 to 48 hours, but to my dismay, no communication has arrived yet, well past the given timeframe. It appears the hacker may have tampered with my email linked to the Instagram account. I am considering reaching out to Gmail for support in tracing and recovering these elusive emails. I appreciate any guidance you can offer on this matter.

I have been using an iPhone 12 Pro with the Gmail app for over a year now. After updating to iOS 15.3.1, I encountered issues with receiving notifications and the red badge not updating to show new emails. Apple support confirmed that the problem lies with the Gmail app. I have attempted various solutions like resetting my phone, reinstalling the app, toggling notifications, soft resetting, resyncing Gmail, and signing out/in of accounts, but none have resolved the problem. I am seeking further advice on how to address this ongoing issue.

Hello, I am currently trying to free up storage space in my Gmail account. I have noticed that I have accumulated over [redacted],[redacted] emails dating back to [redacted]/[redacted]. I intended to delete a specific date range by selecting all emails within that time frame, but Gmail does not seem to allow bulk deletion beyond approximately 50 emails at a time. With such a large number of emails, this process would be extremely time-consuming. I only require the most recent year's emails in my inbox. I believe the IT department could facilitate a more efficient way to delete older emails. I am reluctant to pay for additional storage upgrades simply due to this limitation. I kindly request assistance in deleting emails older than [redacted], while retaining those from 2[redacted]. Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Being Indian, I came to Kazakhstan for my studies with my Indian SIM card linked to my Google account. Upon arrival, I found out the SIM card is inactive. Today, I purchased a new iPhone and tried setting up my Google account but forgot the password. After selecting 'forgot password,' the 2-step verification required a code from my inactive SIM. Despite multiple attempts, including account recovery, I'm unable to access my Google account crucial for university and banking purposes. The error message states, "Google can’t verify that it’s you" as my account got removed from all devices. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated in recovering my account.

Today, I received notifications alerting me about a possible unauthorized attempt to access my Gmail account.

Unfortunately, I recently changed my phone number and device and hadn't transferred my accounts to the new Google Authenticator app yet. I encountered difficulty as the code was sent to my old Gmail account, which I couldn't access. Despite having a recovery Hotmail account, I wasn't offered the option to use it for verification.

My email on Instagram was changed, and I can no longer access my account. Despite multiple attempts to recover it, I haven't succeeded.

I encountered an issue while trying to access my Google email account. Despite entering my correct email and password, I received an error stating it was incorrect. I am positive the password is accurate as I did not change it and even noted it down. When attempting to recover the account, it only requests the last known password. I entered the initial password, which should still be valid, but it could not verify my ownership. This email is linked to my Microsoft account as the primary email. I am willing to provide a secondary email for contact purposes as I am unable to find alternative ways to reach Gmail support.

I am experiencing issues with my Gmail account on my smartphone. Important emails, such as Zoom addresses from my therapist and documents from my case worker, are not coming through, despite receiving other emails. When signing up for new apps like Venmo and Credit Karma, the apps indicated that my Gmail was invalid. My smartphone recently shut down completely and had to be set up again, similar to getting a new phone. The email problems existed before the shutdown on 3/9, 3/23, and 3/24. I am concerned that my email may have been cloned, as it only shows as invalid. As an older customer who struggles to remember passwords due to a memory disorder, it is crucial for me to retain this specific email address. I can be contacted at 1[redacted] all day Wednesday. I appreciate any assistance in resolving this issue, even if it's a simple syncing problem. Thank you for your help.
