Help Locked out of 10 years Gmail account
109 points by schiffern 1 hour ago | hide | past | favorite | 63 comments
Due to the recent LastPass debacle, I decided to cycle my Gmail passwords. Boy that was a mistake!!
Gmail has decided that I can't log in with "just" my password. The new password is correct. It then asks me for my old password, which I put in correctly. Then it tells me I can't log in anyway. :(
Occasionally it will give me a QR code to scan. But I can't scan it on my phone, since my phone is logged out.
I can't log in to my recovery account, because (like a fool) I changed the passwords simultaneously. Now both are locked.
Somebody help! My account name is edgeofepsilon@gmail.com (the recovery email should match my HN username). I'm locked out of a decade+ of correspondence, recovery, and historical data.
