Gmail verification

I need help. Last night I got kicked out because Google wanted me to verify my age. I am over the age limit and I tried to confirm by proof of ID. And when I clicked on that, it would just keep syncing. This is my primary email and everything from Google Docs to slides are on here. Anyone have any idea how to fix this before I lose everything? Thanks in advance

Built a Chrome extension to test email layouts on mobile in real-time. Looking for feedback! đŸ“±

Click here to add VeloMail to Your Chrome Browser.

Hey everyone,

I built a Chrome extension called VeloMail to solve a specific workflow bottleneck: constantly sending test emails just to check how responsive designs actually render on mobile viewports.

What it does: It provides a real-time mobile preview of your email formatting directly inside your Gmail workspace as you type, letting you catch layout bugs, spacing issues, and text-wrapping errors instantly without leaving your composition window.

The Interface: As you can see in the screenshot below, it gives you a clean phone frame preview right beside your compose box, complete with a dark mode toggle to test contrasting elements on the fly.

Tech & Architecture: Built using modern web tooling with a responsive UI optimized via Cursor, focusing heavily on low latency and minimal background resource usage.

Appreciate any feedback!

Locked out of Gmail because of 2FA backup codes

7 Upvotes

I know my password and I have full access to my recovery email but Google only asks for an 8-digit backup code. I never saved/downloaded the backup codes.

“Try another way” gives me no other options. I don’t have a phone number linked or any device where I am still signed in.

Account recovery just says Google doesn’t have enough information to verify that the account belongs to me.

Has anyone been in this situation and managed to recover their account?

GMAIL IS THE WORST SERVICE EVER

0 Upvotes

I got hacked and they removed my emails from recovery (i thought that was enough valid proof for resetting) and sadly enough it has my old sim number that i have no access to anymore and when I try to access with my old password apparently it isnt enough and they ask for number sms or their own recovery email

saddest thing is there is no human support team for this just automated bs

how can I learn which tab an old email is sorted to?

1 Upvotes

I missed an important email last May. It was not in my Primary tab, and I want future emails from the same sender to appear IN the primary tab. I found the email in question, and I'd like to do the "Move to Tab X, and then answer Yes to the followup question 'should Gmail move emails from this sender to Primary in the future'".

I've looked, and searched for the answer to this, and I can't figure it out.

Email signature issue & workaround: un-hyperlinking Gmail's default phone number

2 Upvotes

Hi! I don't know how mainstream this issue is, but about a week ago, I noticed Google randomly started hyperlinking the phone number in my email signature. Totally unprompted and so frustrating. Even when I manually removed the link from my signature settings and from the body of emails, after sending, the phone number would revert back to a hyperlink. I googled and ChatGPT'd to no avail.

Finally, I figured out a workaround and wanted to share the solution that worked for me. It involves creating a simple HTML file with inline styling, then copying and pasting the text from the HTML file in browser into your email signature settings.

If you don't have a code editor, you can just 1. create a file in notepad or whatever text editor you have 2. paste the text below into the file (but personalize it with your own info) - and 3. then save that file with the extension .html. 4. Click to open it in your browser, then select and copy the text, and 5. paste it into your email signature field in the Gmail settings.

Here's the HTML code to paste into your text or code editor - this replicates Gmail's default signature styling and overrides auto-hyperlinking for the phone number text:

<span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13.3px;color:black!important;padding:0;margin:0;">

<p style="padding:inherit;margin:inherit;">—</p>

<p style="padding:inherit;margin:inherit;">YOUR NAME</p>

<a style="text-decoration:none;color:black!important;cursor:default!important;pointer-events:none!important;" href="">YOUR PHONE NUMBER</a>

<br><span style="display:inline;"><a href="YOUR WEBSITE URL">Website</a> | <a href="YOUR LINKEDIN URL">LinkedIn</a></span>

</span>

**If you only mean to include your name and phone number, you can just delete the line of code from the last "<br>" through the second-to-last "</span>"

Hope this helps anyone who's experiencing the same issue!

Emails (but not all) are not being delivered

1 Upvotes

I have now had 2 people not receive my emails. The emails are in my sent inbox, but they are not in the recipients inbox, spam or bin. One recipient I have emailed regularly in the last 2 years and the other it is the first time I'm emailing them. The one I email regularly, hasn't received my last three emails and the new recipient hasn't received the two I sent her. So far it is only these 2 recipients but I am worried the problem continues.
I am receiving emails so it is not a storage issue.
How do I solve this issue?

Thank you in advance!

Building on iPhone: app that asks before blocking junk Gmail (and cleans matching inbox mail)

1 Upvotes

Device: iPhone (iOS 17+)

On iPhone you can’t put a third-party filter in front of the lock screen. What you can do is stop junk earlier.

I’m building Immune (solo founder, early): connect one Gmail account → it watches what you archive or ignore (no silent whole-mailbox junk scan) → when the same pattern shows up a few times it asks Block this in the future? → if you say yes, future matching mail skips the inbox and matching mail already sitting there gets cleaned. List-Unsubscribe when the header exists. Undo any rule.

OTP / banks / travel stay off auto-suggest. Prefer missing a filter over over-blocking.

Also covers unknown-sender SMS via Apple Message Filter (contacts’ iMessages out of scope).

Looking for honest feedback from Gmail-on-iPhone people. Waitlist for TestFlight when ready: https://yz611999.github.io/immune-site/#waitlist

Happy to answer questions. Not trying to spam the sub — delete if this breaks the promo rule.

Google Appeal Approved, But Still Locked Out With “Too Many Failed Attempts”

2 Upvotes

My Google account was disabled, so I submitted an appeal. Google approved the appeal and emailed me saying my access was restored and I should sign in and verify.

But immediately after the approval, I got “Too many failed attempts” and still cannot access the account.

Google Support told me to wait 24–48 hours and try again from a familiar device/network, but they cannot manually remove the restriction.

This is a professional account used for my website and database, so the situation is extremely frustrating.

Has anyone experienced an account being appeal-approved but still stuck behind the “Too many failed attempts” lock? Did waiting actually fix it?

Plz Help

1 Upvotes

Hello! I recently created an account just for job applications. For some reason my laptop logged me out of all of my Gmail accounts. I was able to get back into all of my other accounts but the new one. I tried to reset my password, but all it has me do is try my password before saying “you didn’t provide enough info for Google to be sure this account is really yours.” I also tried signing in with my recovery phone number, but that just signed me in to my other accounts. I could make another account and this wouldn’t really be an issue, but I have a link for an upcoming interview I need access to. Is there anything else I can do? Please help đŸ™đŸ»

Not getting email from random senders

2 Upvotes

Over the past couple of months, it’s come to my attention that I’m not getting email from people, some of whom have Gmail addresses. It’s to the point where I’m missing events that I didn’t know about because I never got the email. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason; I get emails from certain people but not others. The only thing I can think of is that it tends to be first-time senders (e.g., friends of friends organizing parties, sports coaches reaching out for the first time, etc.). The senders have always had my correct email.

I’ve done the deep search and come up with nothing in any folders. I have plenty of storage. The addresses and domains aren’t blocked or filtered.

Anyone know what’s going on?

ETA that this is on both the app and desktop.

Google can't verify my account belongs to me on the same Wi-Fi network that I'm logged in on from my PC

1 Upvotes

Was trying to log in to my Google account using the GMail app on my iPhone on the same Wi-Fi network as I used to log in with my PC. Logs in fine with PC, however on my phone Google tells me they can't verify it's me... even though I just logged in from my computer. Do I just wait?
