Ask HN: Google locked me out of my primary gmail account
I hit the button, provided my password. 2fa shows up. It says it sent a code to my mobile phone, but I'm not getting one.
Opted to have a text message sent to my phone number with an auth code. Punch in the auth code. Page shows up 'sorry, something went wrong, please try again'. Tried again, same thing. Tried an alternative recovery method, same thing.
I can still access the account from my phone but the pc seems locked out of it no matter what recovery/access option I choose because they all go to 'sorry, something went wrong'.
Any suggestions how to get a human to help me or figure out what's going wrong with their backend that's causing it to spam 'something went wrong'? This is insane. I'll be migrating everything off gmail after regaining access to the account.
