I got blocked from accessing a Gmail account half year ago during a long term stay in another continent and despite knowing the password, answering the security question I'm still not able to access nor recover it as i can't recall the date of creating the account (it's too old to recall exact month/year combo). There is nothing you can do in this situation, nowhere to complain, whole identity tied to the account is gone. I'm losing belief i can access it one day..
Anyway, this was a wake up call and since then I'm in progress of migrating all my services outside big players..
- GhettoMaestro 7y agoFuck Google, fuck G-Mail, and fuck "free" shit, ESPECIALLY FOR EMAIL!!!! Do yourself a favor and pay $20/mo for a Office365 account. When you pay for something, you'll be amazed how responsive the counter party typically is.
- y4mi 7y agowhile i'd agree that outlook.live.com is a great webservice, i'm not sure i'd encourage people that only want mail service to use it. office365 is aimed at people that actually want to use the microsoft office suite. if you only want email, you'll get as much for ~$5/month
- haecceity 7y agoThey’re really going overboard with these security questions. This is why I use ProtonMail.
