How Can I Recover My Google Account Without My Old Phone Number?
Asked by

Hey everyone! I'm feeling pretty lost here. I've had my Google account for 9 years and it's linked to all my games and apps. Now, I'm trying to log in, but I can't get access. The issue is that I no longer have the phone number I linked when I created the account. I know my email and password, but since I don't have the old phone number, I'm completely stuck. I did have a backup email at some point, but now that option to send a recovery code to it seems to have disappeared too. I'm sure this is a common problem, and I'm really hoping someone here can help me out!

Yeah, contacting Google support is crucial here. They can reset your two-factor authentication since you're having issues with the phone number. Just be persistent; it can be a bit tricky to get to a real person.
