There is nothing google will do for you. I had a similar issue here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31681221 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31681221 I’m still locked out of my account. December 22nd was the expiration of the domain name I needed in order to unlock it, and it is now gobbled up by another squatting service (Bodi), so I will have to try again next year. They don’t even entertain my offers to buy it. Let our losses be a lesson to people: get off of gmail asap. They do not care about you. They do not care about the harm they are doing, the memories they are sealing away. All they care about is making money off of your data. Get off google now. As fast as you can.

It's now been 0 days since the last "Help! I've been locked out of my account!" story on HN. These have been going on for years and years[1]. The solution is for individual people to stop relying on services that don't have customer support to host critical things. This is now a well-known failure case for free cloud services. It should not be a surprise. 1: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=%22locked%20out%22%20account&sort=byPopularity&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...
