I'd argue that the most logical long term solution is that Google figures something out with the government. E.g. go to the DMV to recover your account. The government is the fundamental root of trust and authority on who is who, so it just makes sense that your "official" online life should tie in with that like say your google account and online banking (for more casual stuff like say a reddit account, the drawbacks outweigh the benefits).
- dikei 4y agoI know some people that will absolutely reject the idea of linking their online presence with their physical being. Hell, some Americans even refused to get an ID for voting purpose, and now you expect them to link their ID with a Google account.

- wereallterrrist 4y agoI swear to God I'm taking crazy pills in this thread. The second that the government can arbitrate access to my Google account is the day I nuke my Google account from freaking orbit. I've been using a yubikey on my Google account for 5+ years and this thread makes me want to scream.
