Well ...

this is for people who

• dont give a shit about having the latest phone
• feel like its a total waste , like running after fashion
• still have #android kitkat cos there simply is no reason to upgrade for what little you use that thing

I have lost a few google accounts due to the fact that they're so concerned even 3000 videos on youtube arent enough to prove that its mine because "we cant just do that because we respect your privacy too much"

BUT IM GIVING YOU PERMISSION BITCH

sorry sir (its not even a person right, its an algorithm)

---

and again today, after reinstall ... i'm used to getting a simple prompt on my old phone

BUT NOT TODAY, the google recovery system is REALLY screwed, you have a recovery email installed ?

well maybe they ask you for it to send you a code, in my case today after five times they didnt

I didnt get a prompt either, i was asked to open the phone

"go to google settings app"

so i go like

and find "security"

but there's no where a "get security code" to be seen , like

so i try again

and again ... it doesnt prompt me, it doesnt ask me for my recovery email to send me a code, i can't CHOOSE which option either (it not as bad as microsoft who closed my account for "we dont have to give you a reason" (literal response i got from their flandersfunny suit-man, LITERALLY, american way of doing business)

and again

and it doesnt and i check the phone but OWH, there's another "google settings" button that actually says "google settings", hidden in a subfolder

and it has "security" too ... (pardon my manners but i dont see why i would HAVE TO buy an android 8 device just to be able to recover my account ... but you know "do no evil " is gone from the credo

but under security, NO option to "get security" code

like

NONE

so i try again

and again
and again, doesnt ask me for the prompt (simplest way)

doesnt ask me for my recovery email so ... having woken up with A DOG IN MY GARDEN AGAIN ... my cat is hiding somewhere inside, doesnt wanna go out

i'm STRESSED, i think im holding up very nice trying to be very nice

i get like a little teeth grit but guess what ?

---

turns out under the same settings crAPP, in a totally different section

not even mentioned by the google impersonal algorithm

its right fuckin there, i am ofcourse not going to show the codes

but it didnt mention ANYTHING on google side

it just said tap security

get code ...

and somewhere in the phone it said in very small print _{not all options may be available unless you have android 8.0}

so i guess account recovery is optional then according to the lords of google up there
