I guess is all about: how can you prove you're not the hacker?

  Location of past IPs used to access GMail Knowledge about items on the inbox/address book Location of devices used to access the account Knowledge of past passwords Not sending password reset emails to secondary emails that have just been added

  If a human looks it would be trivial for me to do the legwork to prove I own the google account. I've had more than one job that uses gmail in the office, including my current one. My boss's account is presumably authenticated and if I bugged him he would vouch for my identity. I have correspondence with a bunch of people in my google account going back years. I could bug any number of them to vouch for me. I've had, in the past, a few work accounts that used google, that mad my picture associated with it. I can do a google hangout to show that that is still my face. I have a driver's license with my real name on it, which matches my google account. I control the phone number associated with my google account. . . . A hacker could compromise one or two of those, but it would be hard for him to get a majority of them, even if he had my phone and email in his control.
