I used Tor to access Google "products". After taking a hiatus and logging in with the correct (strong) password Google essentially locked me out.
And no I don't have any "techbro" friends who work for Google.
Lessons:
Do not use Google unless you are OK with losing your account if they one day decide to hold your identity and data hostage.
Even if you PAY Google ("Google Apps" or whatever the fuck they are calling it these days), you are still at risk.
Set up mail forwarding in Gmail and migrate to a service not run by an advertising monopolist.
- jopsen 9y agoAlways setup 2FA for anything you care about. Both TOTP, U2F and one-time codes, if available. And save the backup codes! Multiple physical copies. If you use TOR you should be taking your operational security serious. Passwords are useless.
