I was going to dump this google account anyway. because it's where I direct spam from signups and stuff.
but was able to log in just yesterday. now getting this message suddenly "too many failed attemps".
I'm assuming too many failed one time code attempts, because it doesn't show this right after entering pw. its after the phone number box.
anyone else get this message today on gmail? is it just down today? or is someone trying to gain access..
ok thanks. well not that I need to get back in. but I will try again tomorrow.
should try to remember recent places I shopped, so I don't shop there again unless I need to.
4 days later and it's still borked. when it says "try again in hours".
oh well looks like I have lost it. idc I have moved onto another for entering into spam purpose anyway.
either someone keeps trying to sign in so it reaches the limit of sign ins and blocks all attempts, or it was caused by trying Librewolf. the timing is just the same as I started to use Librewolf. it seems to cause all kinds of issues for trackers and I think big corpo hates it.
ok another possibly cause.
I used the email for discord. in terms of timing they just had that huge leak. I barely use it so idc but it makes sense.
@n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm: forgot to mention in last sentence. that would explain why it's getting hammered by bots.

Did you give them biometrics or 100 points of ID docs to verify your age before the leak?
You can always get a new email address. You can't get new biometrics.
@tenpercent: no definitely not. not sure if you read some of my recent comments about discord but I barely used it.
just had it for info I couldn't join and see elsewhere, such as keyboard community stores/group buy progress during covid.
I just think more than what they are saying was leaked. they even said one thing about the id's then another. like first it was 70,000 digital id's leaked, then they backtracked and said it was only 10,000 or something (numbers may be wrong).
so seems to me a lot more was probably leaked, e.g. email addresses. I think they already admitted phone numbers and payment info was leaked. not a issue for me personally never entered phone (it would bug me all the time to do it tbh, and would get kicked out of certain store servers after a few months, but I could just get back in again with the join link) and never paid for discord premium (of whatever it was called, they would bug you all the time to upgrade to this as well).
nope.
