Hahah. Some stories like these.
My elderly parents were on google forever. Forgot password because they'd just stayed logged in.
What was weird is even though they had a recovery email (mine) that we were able to get a code too google had a second check - a requirement to TEXT a code to the phone number on the account. Unfortunately my elderly parents had put a landline phone down - which doesn't accept text messages.
I gave google the benefit of the doubt on that, because they'd actually forgotten the password.
More seriously, I was doing an apps setup (way way back) for a nonprofit. They give you a weird temp email domain, then you port in your domain etc etc. Some issue (no fault of ours) got the state stuck in a doomloop. Even though it was a paid service, there was no support.
I contrast that with AWS. Fine support on store side and on compute side in my experience.
- ASalazarMX 4y agoIn this case I'd consider Google Workspace. It costs, but it gives you ironclad control over the accounts, and your parents won't lose access to their accounts no matter what they do. As a bonus, Workspace is sold by partners, so you contact actual humans if Google does anything weird.
- Melatonic 4y agoYeah I agree - this is the real comparison to AWS. You have to pay for AWS which is mostly a professional service (even if there are free aspects) vs Google services that are mostly all free. In my professional experience the support for Workspace has been excellent. Luckily I have never had to contact their support for my personal stuff.
