- rsingel 14y agoThere are other backup measures, including a trusted friend's phone as backup. But being totally locked out is a feature, not a bug.
- nodata 14y agoYes. The aim is that someone without authentication can't get into your account.
- maxerickson 14y agoIf you regain control of the phone number before someone finds the phone and uses it to seize control of the Google account, you wouldn't lose anything more than the phone.
