I have an ancient alternate identity Yahoo account which I used as the recovery account when I created a similarly named Gmail account. Have used each every few months. Each specifies the other as the recovery or backup account. Neither has 2FA set up because I did not want to tie my cell phone to the identity. I am now locked out of both accounts because…each sends a second factor code to the other. It isn't a huge loss to me…though recruiters trying to recruit the related but obviously fake LinkedIn profile may be saddened to never get a reply. I totally understand why Google, Yahoo, and others are purging inactive accounts. Between GDPR and widespread account takeovers it's an expensive nuisance (and if the account is "inactive" then it's not generating meager advertising revenue to pay for the nuisance).
