Google Verify your Identity

If Google can't verify it's you during a sign-in attempt, several things might happen:

1. Access Denied: You won't be able to access your Google account. This means you won't be able to use services like Gmail, Google Drive, YouTube, and others associated with your account.
2. Account Recovery Process: Google will guide you through an account recovery process, which may include:
   • Answering security questions.
   • Providing a recovery email or phone number.
   • Verifying recent activity on your account.
3. Security Concerns: Google might lock your account temporarily if they suspect unauthorized access. This is to protect your account from potential security breaches.
4. Alternate Verification Methods: Google may offer alternate verification methods, such as:
   • Sending a verification code to your recovery email or phone number.
   • Asking for a verification code from a connected device.
   • Using two-factor authentication if you have it set up.

To improve the chances of successful verification, make sure:

• Your recovery email and phone number are up to date.
• You remember answers to your security questions.
• You have access to devices and accounts linked to your Google account.
