Still, you continue to insist inaccurate and wrong paraphrases of my statements. I absolutely do not appreciate it in the slightest.
There’s no lockout. It’s a logged out profile.
Thanks for the tips, but I’m way ahead of all that. I’m not leaving this ever, even after it becomes rectified. Google is far too corrupt to hold accountable myself. The only options are either class action, and/or civil litigation, and/or real tech support via security department heads. In all likeliness, California’s Newsom could very easily smooth this over. I know a guy who’s in California working at the LA Times too.
I have more than enough to substantiate my ownership of the account, and full records of exhaustive media files spanning the entire Google “support” experience.
I’m fixated exclusively on rectification through legal recourse. The punitive damages incurred won’t be ignorable.
I won’t ever let intellectual property theft take advantage of me, especially by a sellout entity.
If you can in fact effectively get involved, then get involved.
Otherwise, don’t at all, especially if you’re a badged Google community forum advisor. Those scripted “community” responses are all totally copy-pasted completely unhelpful trash.
========.
Your notions in italics.
I live close enough to a Google office that if I needed to I could go to a physical location.
They don’t have account recovery tech support. There is no such department. Ever tried their public Palo Alto number? It’s a joke. They adamantly refuse to talk on the topic.
I also use a physical 2FA device specifically because I want to be in positive control of my ability to unlock my account in the event that I get locked out.
People lose those eventually or else those become physically damaged due to the travel nature of it. I had a better one the size of a smartphone, and it had a full touchscreen menu system and password system itself. It’s permanently MIA, just like yours will be someday too. But hey, wishful thinking is a great vulnerability to marketers. Enjoy the toy. It’ll own you someday.
I took the steps I did to secure my account and create a 2FA backup in the event that my device is lost or stolen.
What is this? Pearls before swine?
Now you don’t go into any detail whatsoever even in your comments about anything of relevance that would help us help you.
You’re intentionally ignoring my list of proof of my account ownership. You’re being antagonistic.
You don’t spell out how the system works in your country, you don’t explain what you were told (the specifics). You have posted none of the chat history or anything proving you’ve even contacted Google about this.
Right. That’s my personal private material that can be used to identify me by employees within the company’s access to those conversations. You know that. Yet, you’re insisting documents aught to be published right here for you to see.
Would you like to identify yourself right here. Hmm?
Would you like to post your heated emails and link your frustrated tech “support” phone calls for everyone?
You locked yourself out of your account.
Again, you’re intentionally ignoring my post details. There’s no lockout. The 2FA device is gone. That’s not a lockout. It’s an extremely major complication.
The login verification text goes to my GVoice number for that account. I keep tabs on its voice messages. Its’ voice message system recently became nonresponsive to calls, but that account is still intact.
I’m not apathetic. Someone who didn’t care wouldn’t have bothered to comment.
Your rationale is very concerning. You don’t care. You’re pushing this your directions anyway.
If this is how you talk to the call center techs I am not surprised that you haven’t gotten the help you requested.
What a sheltered and homogenous blurb of spineless privileged nonsense in a world of extreme social injustice. Don’t you even know of anyone who lives in a corrupt nursing home?
If there was something tied to that account (a credit card or something) that might help you. If you could report the phone stolen, a police report would be helpful because that is an official document from a local government agency who would validate who you were. It would be something to provide to Google as proof of the validity of your claim.
This looks like an attempt to propose an idea. Alright, something to talk about. Unfortunately, a police report is not proof of the claims presented in the report. It’s a witness of a statement, but it’s not even simply verified as much as a mere notarized statement, though it presents verification of an ID and profession of a claim.
On that note, Google has access to my ID in my Drive account. They see it. I had those dismissive and homeland Drive guys on the phone while they were looking in my Drive folders but skirting away from clearly admitting visibility in any unsavory context. But I got it out of them. They spinelessly care more about their job staying off an internal radar than positively impacting a life. And that was an otherwise standup guy too. I have his name and that chat conversation. Tools.
Besides, those kids in the Philippines have my ID. They’ve done nothing to produce results.
Making a second account and using it to explore further options might be beneficial to your situation. Making a second account and signing up for a new Google voice number would allow you to take screenshots of what you are seeing on your end and those might be helpful for people trying to guide you to getting the help you need.
When I connected to Google One personnel . . .
Think about it. You know that requires an account, so you know I did that.
What are you thinking here?
Are you thinking a phone conversation via a GVoice number directly with some cubicle kids in the Philippines is going to convince their complete lack of access to anything to somehow magically produce the “tools” they say they “don’t have” to then authorize an account recovery approval when they refuse to talk about account recovery in any terms outside the prefab and unsupportive Google Help pages?
What do see happening with GVoice via an alternative account?
Screenshots? You’ve through this through, right?
Screenshots of the IP address of the Chromebook that was once registered with that limbo account, right? And especially with the IP displayed next to hopefully unrefreshed browser tabs showing Drive contents of the limbo account, right? Is that what you were thinking? And maybe right next to the Security Codes from that limbo account? All this while logged into an new alternative Google account in the Chromebook?
Are we thinking this through objectively?
Any other ideas there?
Either way though I’m not sure how you expect us to help you besides giving the advice we have given? I’m assuming you were hoping to get the attention of Google employees. The problem with that is this is Lemmy, we aren’t reddit. I seriously doubt there are employees monitoring this place. If you were to try reddit or Twitter you might have better luck. Lemmy doesn’t have the user base to justify employees of big tech companies to spend working hours here.
Right. Google has no clue what the Fediverse is. They’re internet architects, right? Yeah, they have no idea this space has been established and populated in rejection of the hijacked Reddit subforum, especially with both these donning its brand name.
Are you still in college?
That leaves Reddit as a decommissioned sewage treatment plant turned into a bum fight squat haven.
