Unable to Access Account After Approved Appeal — 2FA SMS problem
Hello,
I’m reaching out for help with an issue I haven’t been able to resolve on my own.
My Google account was suspended a few days ago. I submitted an appeal, and it was approved — the suspension was lifted.
However, I am still unable to log in to the account. I’m using the correct password and correct credentials, but the system won’t send me the SMS verification code needed for two-factor authentication. It shows a message about too many attempts and asks me to wait, even after trying multiple times over an extended period.
This account is essential for my business (I manage Google Ads, Merchant Center, Analytics, and Search Console for my online store through it), so being locked out despite the approved appeal is causing serious disruption.
Has anyone else run into this — an approved appeal but being blocked from logging back in due to SMS rate limiting? Is there any way to reset this or use an alternative verification method?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
