Tell HN: Need help, locked out of Google account with 10 years of personal data

I've been locked out of my Google account which contains over a decade of my digital life, and I'm at my wit's end trying to recover it. The situation: - Woke up today completely locked out - Got "secure your account" message - Set new password + recovery info but kept getting redirected to login - Received "unusual activity" warning (around the time I was asleep) - System asks for old phone number (lost in 2022) - Have tried recovery dozens of times through g.co/recover - Still have access to old recovery email but system never asks for it it What I've tried: - Using same devices and network as always (google pixel) - Multiple recovery attempts with both old/new phone numbers - Both old/new passwords (then never say which one they accept) - Following all official Google recovery guides I have so much of my life there: - Primary emai
