Locked out of your Google account
Go to accounts.google.com/signin/recovery and follow the steps. Google will try to confirm you through your recovery phone, recovery email, or by asking questions about your account. If you can't pass any of these, try from a device and location you've used before. Google trusts familiar devices.
Google account recovery works best when you try from a device and browser you've used before. Google asks verification questions based on your history with the account. If the standard recovery doesn't work, try on your usual phone or computer, use the browser you normally use, and connect to your home WiFi. All of these help Google recognise you.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
