You risk losing your entire Google account along with all documents, photos, mail, and whatever else you have there. Enough stories of this happening if you look around.
- tcfhgj 11mo agoyou risk that regardless, which is why I don't rely on them at all
- prmoustache 11mo agoThe risk always exist. Also are you really using same account for gmail, your personal pictures/docs and youtube?

Most people use "sign in with Google" and tie their Google account to services well beyond the Google ecosystem, just to avoid creating a new entry in their password manager (lol). You think people are making new Google accounts for each Google service? That's hard for me to believe.

- SoftTalker 11mo agoIf you're just a normal user the risk is very low. This almost always happens when someone using Google APIs for business purposes trips a fraud or spam detector.
