Does your grandma have printed out backup codes?
- dsr_ 4y agoMy father was a statistician and programmer for most of his career. He's switched to a new gmail account three times, at least, when he couldn't remember a password. So, no, nobody has printouts of backup codes except the people who are already aware of Google's reliability problem.
- refurb 4y agoMy grandma just creates a new google account whenever she gets locked out and it doesn't matter because she doesn't use email for anything important. I'm starting to wonder if she's the smarter one.
- ajsnigrutin 4y agoThis is great, until you're locked out of a service that you actually need, and the only password-reset way is to send a reset link to the e-mail account she never uses anymore.
