    Currently having problems with GMail I lost my old phone (2fA) and no device was logged in so i could not access steam and like everything that requires that old mail

    And my phone provider or postal service is stupid because i could not get a replacement sim after multiple tries which normally works

    Googles account recovery policy is basically:

    • 2fA
    • recovery email
    • create a new account x.x

    I think the recovery mail option only gets unlocked after 6? months inactivity because ~3 months ago i did not have the option

    Now after requesting a recovery i still have to wait a full month before they maybe send me a password reset to my moms mail

    But steam support was nice. Managed to get the account by providing a product key i used a few months ago and was lucky enough not to have thrown the physical card away
