It's been some years that I am not able to log in to my Google account, because I stopped using it for a very long time any Google product, and now even providing my password, they say they can not know if it is me or now...

They send me to this support page which seems like I have lost my account with all the data and stuff I had from when I was younger...

I don't think this is normal or ethic to do (I know Google has been never ethic), but this makes me so angry because I never wanted to lose all that data...

Do they basically know every people networks? And if you don't let them know... you lose access to Google? ... 😠

So if they don't let you sign-in with not enough information, they're wrong because, and if they would let anyone with your password signing in, they'd be bad too?

Right...

Don't forget that OP expected Google to hold onto their data forever, without paying them, despite not logging in "for a very long time".

For all the hills to die on about Google, this is a pretty strange one to choose.

Well no shit - you're saying it like that's some crazy idea, when it's exactly what Google has conditioned consumers to expect.
