What the fuck is wrong with Google?!!

Trying to log into Gmail.
Forgot password.
Gmail: To reset, code from authenticator app is required.
Me: Super. Good thing I set it up.
Enters code.
Gmail: Recovery email.
Me : Uh... Forgot that too.
Gmail: Some email address to communicate.
Me: Super!
Enters some other email address.
Receives mail with a link.
Me: Finally!
Opens link

Gmail: "When did you create your account?"
Me: Uh... If I had that kind of memory, we wouldn't be dancing right now.
.
.
.
Gmail: Sorry we couldn't verify you.

WHAT THE FUCK, GOOGLE?!
What sort of sadist play is this?!

Dropped them a mail to get access back. Got a link in the auto reply that explains how to repeat the above process. WTF?!

What the actual fuck?!

    What should they do different though? There are not that many ways to verify you if you can't remember anything

    @EaZyCode True, but the authenticator should be enough.

    Use a password manager like a civilized person?

    Hindsight 50/50.

    That doesn't solve the problem that I have right now though.
    I can still see use the Gmail app on my phone so I really don't understand what Google is playing at.

    Easy fix: ditch google... I personally use outlook.com, but you can use anything else

    @irene ah yes. Those are set up. That is what's annoying. The authenticator app and the phone number are set up and available but apparently not enough.

    Fuck Gmail. This kind of bullshit is exactly why I don’t use it or any google products unless I explicitly can’t find a way not to.

    @EaZyCode This. I hate Google for quite some reasons but their security is damn son.
