i don't really use gmail (i self host for more than 25 years), but I do have few throw away gmail accounts that I registered way back when gmail started. they all have recovery contacts/emails configured.

a few years ago gmail stopped letting me login. password was ok. it was saying something about my login been suspicious or something and that it will send me code to recovery email. i was getting code on recovery email, entering it and getting back message saying "we still not sure that everything is ok, try again later".

it took 6 months before i was able to login to account.
