What about the hundreds of other accounts that use your gmail as either the 2FA target or password reset?
For a non-technical user (like my mom), this is a herculean task.
- ipaddr 5y agoIf you need a password reset do it and use the reminder to change the email. If your mom signed up for hundreds of accounts she should be saavy enough to handle the account update.
- yyyk 5y agoThere's no need to delete the old gmail account, just use the new account for anything new, and change the mail address to the new one for the few frequent and useful accounts. Over time, the old gmail account will lose its importance, and there'll be no real risk if Google decides to ban it.
