Google recently blocked my logins because apparently according to them I have a malware installed. They ask me for my password and I provide it but they are unable to "verify that it is me". I am running a fresh Linux Mint installation.

I use a randomly generated password with 30+ characters. If I can provide it then they should assume that it is me. This is what I get for using gmail.

I'm with you (and lots of other victims) here. I even had a secret answer - and that didn't help either.

Are you using Chrome? Google authentication only fully supports Chrome.

Quick reminder that Google Is Not Your Friend, and everyone who has the choice should step as far away as possible.

I use Firefox. This seems like a reason for antitrust.
