This worries me a lot, just having a dynamic IP in a third world country is enough for Google to lock you out of the account even if you had typed your password correctly. I would never trust them with my access to other sites, one simple mistake of logging in with a different IP and will leave me locked out of all my accounts. In the name of security they ask you to associate a phone number to unlock the account even though that makes little sense since anyone with the password can then provide any number and steal the account.
- hinkley 5y agoThe dystopian novel practically writes itself. Imagine being locked out of your house and bank accounts because your Google account got suspended. Maybe Google could introduced an account protection service for people worried about this happening - for a small annual fee of course - and unofficially turn it into racketeering.
