[Emacspeak] Re: Loss of Access to Gmail - Text Mode

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr. <n1ea@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know but I just logged in using mutt and found I can assess my gmail.

John,

The problem is that he is locked out even when using a GUI, I guess because google has never seen him in the

graphical user interface because he is a text mode only guy.

He gave me his password and google won't let me log in - I'm 400 miles distant from him, and my browser has never

been logged into his gmail account before.

There is NO way to change the recovery email and the Google verification server is broken. I'm not going to give the

exact email account here but I'm going to give an example.

Other methods.

Send a verification email to: n***@v******.***

Use a browser logged into gmail.

Tell us the recovery email account n***@v******.***

Obviously, it's a verizon.net account and since I use n1ea@xxxxxxxxxxx I "probably" had n1ea@xxxxxxxxxxx expecially when it hints at n*** - so I put in the correct account, and it says "incorrect".

That is not incorrect, but there is NO way of contacting gmail for those blind users who didn't anticipate gmail being so fussy about verifying their account.

If google would just allow logging in with the right account name and password - everything would be OK.

But it isn't they are adding layers of extra requirments - and now is not the time to do that with a major change just happening.

Best wishes,

David
