So they're basically saying "yeah we really care that no one else should be allowed access to your account. Not even you if you fuck up. But, we thank you for building an amazing portfolio of your digital profile. Now fuck off."

If anyone has an issue where you genuinely can't get into your account. If you have an android tv with the Google account linked, or, and I'm assuming it works as well, an android tv box, go to the built in Web browser. It'll let you sign into your Google account where you can disable all 2fa.

I got caught out by this, and because I used my Gmail as my Samsung account, I was also locked out of my Samsung account.

And a little tip to Google. If you're going to forcefully collect all of this:

Then let us at least fucking use it to sign into our accounts.

Actually, I said "recovering" which is false. Google doesn't let you recover.

I was about to say "well at least they don’t want your contacts“ and then I remembered that you sync your contacts via google.
