> This is why I refuse to use 2FA.

That just makes it even more likely you'll lose access. If you have 2fA, Google will just ask for your 2fa. If you don't have 2fa, Google will pick some random device you signed in on once ten years ago, and tell you that you can only ever log into your account again if it's from that device.



It seems possible to disable this by manually logging out of all your devices in google account management, then never using them to log into your google account again. I've done that, but the fact that this is the only solution is unbelievably insane.
