Updating Firefox suddenly fixed this for me. I then later just had my entire google account banned and I had to create a new account. They even attempted to IP ban me as well. Said I was banned until 2036 or something like that.

    Damn, and that's just the ones where swapping the email is possible without access to the original. More and more services seem to send a verification code at login. I guess you're just shit out of luck then.

    I better stop watching youtube then.

    You didn't get any options to unlock your account early, like pay a penalty or something?

    Your account got banned from YouTube, or you got banned from Google and it's apps?

    Please reply to this dorumon

    If it's a ban from the whole google echo-system that is fucked up. I sadly still have a lot of important stuff linked to my google account.

    +, I've been untangling from Google for years, still find the odd thing going to Gmail that could screw me over

    I've started recently too. Slow and steady. But if this is true, I need to hurry tf up. It's sad we (in Sweden) practically HAVE to have a google account since we use an app called BankID for everything with banking and identifying ourself with the government. So no google account ≈ no id

    You can get the BankID for your bc but only for windows and I don't have a windows pc anymore.
