So I’ve looked and I’m stumped.

I realize from searching that recovery at this point is futile but one last ditch try?

I got an email saying that a critical security alert happened- a ton of emails were deleted and I should change my password.

I changed my password.

And now I can’t get in.

I know the old password. I know the new password. I have a recovery phone number.

But what happens is it wants me to “verify” via Gmail app, which due to my phone off loading apps, can’t log back on to verify because my Gmail app was logged out. It’s sending a “code” to my iPhone pro 15 (I currently have an iPhone 17) and I don’t ever get a code. I can’t seem to find ANY OTHER WAY TO VERIFY.

I have no way to verify this account and now I can’t get in.

Despite having the correct password. Having the correct phone number.

Why can’t it just text me an SMS code???
