Can't log in to Gmail?
Good day,
I wanted to log in with my Gmail account, but realized I no longer have the old number and can't find it. I have the password, which must be correct, but thanks to Google's security measures, I must either have the old number or be logged in somewhere. But I'm not logged in either. Is there any way I can update the number without logging in, or is there another way?
No, it won’t go: Google will think that there’s a fraud calling for access.
And this for good reason: phone numbers are now actually standard.
So it seems questionable why you shouldn’t have your old number anymore.
Also with stolen smartphone, you can disable the (charred) SIM card and leave the number of it all transferred from the provider to a new SIM card.
Once I’ve done, but for another reason: my old SIM card has been reduced to nano SIM card size with a kind of punching device. Since my SIM card was so old that it had no nano size. At any rate, she was somehow punched out, didn’t fit into the new smartphone, and got a replacement SIM card that already has nano size for free. And the transfer of the data, such as phone number and PIN to the new SIM card, did not last 5 minutes.
Well, still had access to the account on my old phone but last after approx. 6 years ago get a new number 2-3 years ago for contract reasons. And now I have a new phone but not the same phone number as 6 years ago. And just put the other phone back to work because I assumed that everything was transferred. Well, apparently not everything. Only this email that claimed a part of my accounts was oddly not transmitted. Well, you don’t have the old number for the email, the password and the email is made up of my first and last name anyway. Can’t you do anything?
No, it just doesn’t allow security precautions. Even 6 years ago, a call number registration was always possible free of charge and without any problems for new contracts. For the first time, I can’t hear that.
20 years ago maybe, but even there you could take the phone number with a ten.
30 years ago, the most likely scenario is where it really didn’t work. Since the world was not yet ready.
So Google won’t be able to do anything for you.
If your next Gmail account doesn’t leave a phone number, you’ll be safest.
