Google will punish you hard if you don't share information with it. Soon you will realize that it will constantly bother you because it cannot trust you (because it does not have your information). Say if you let it track you all the time, and if you happen to forget your password, you may still be able to get the access to your email account back. I disabled all tracking, and I have not been able to access my 10+ year old email account. If I knew this, I would be happy to ask Google to track me 24/7.
- malermeister 3y agoHaving to use a password manager seems like a small price to pay for privacy.
- hulitu 3y agoGoogle wants your passwords too.
- lifestyleguru 3y agoForget about that account and don't use any Google account ever again. You'll be fine.
- powerapple 3y agoYes, that was stupid that I was using Gmail as my primary for such a long time. Now I switched to iCloud, much better, with very useful services, you can talk to a person when bad things happen. Google does not have any customer service for their services. The only Google service I am using now is Google Maps and YouTube. Probably I will switch to Apple Maps soon.
- realusername 3y agoThat's exactly why I switched email providers. I want a reliable login, password and 2FA scheme where if I have all 3, I'm in. Google doesn't have that.
- powerapple 3y agoI would choose a service where there is a human can you talk to when you need help. Customer support, user centric system. I have my phone number registered as 2FA, apparently it is not enough.
