Gmail Getting Worse and Worse.

[NoshowJones]

Gmail must be heading towards being the worst ever for  emails. It started about 8.30 am. I tried to log on and was told my password had being changed three hours previously, I was sleeping then, I spent the next half hour trying to log on without success, I was given "try another way" to sign in. I used my phone and three times the "yes it's me" came up, I pressed on it and nothing happened each time.

 

I was asked for and given other no's which I clicked on and again nothing happened. Eventually I was asked for the last password, the one I was supposed to have changed, only then did I manage to get logged in.

 

I see a lot of problems happening in the future involving passwords etc now with Gmail. I have used the "yes it's me" on my phone several times in the past without any problems, anyone else have  these problems with Gmail?

No problems here either.

 

Perhaps your4 Gmail account has been hacked.

Yes,yes,yes. I had a new email address given to me this morning and I needed a new password, I found all my contact emails had been wiped clean. I protested and found others had also. 30 minutes later everything turned back to normal. I was furious and still am, was this some techie with a new bright idea? Let's change every-bodies email address so nobody can contact anyone, some jobsworth needs to be sacked.

Have you set up 2 factor authentication?

I use an authenticator app on my mobile for Google, Wise, Amazon etc safer than sms or email verification.

No

 

It is getting more invasive, but that's everything.

 

Get into settings you can dial back some of that.
