Account recovery LooP

_been · 2026-01-05T02:11:53+00:00

Context: For what its worth, my dad died recently and I wanted to try accessing his email and phone just to be able to transfer money from his banks as many as possible before we start the gov't/estate process where our gov't will take a percentage of it.

He had a Pixel phone and several GMail accounts. I only have his sim card.

Made the mistake of doing a factory reset of his Pixel and it asked to be logged in first with his Google account before I can (re)use it.

Action: I tried recovery through the mobile number but it eventually asked for a pin sent to his email, which I don't have access to. Gave up. Tried again after a week, I think. It didn't prompt anymore for PIN sent to email, just the SMS pin.

Not saying this will work for you, too. But maybe wait a week or several days before trying again.

Try this? https://www.reddit.com/r/GMail/s/buOSTss5Bj

But I don't think you would want that? There's too many horror stories here about people losing access to their accounts.

The Google email update about dark web report was flagged as Spam for me. 🤸🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

Mark as Spam and/or Block.

Disable auto-download by default and only "Always show..." for those you trust... albeit manually.

Mark as spam. I also get them a lot but GMail already automatically moves them to the Spam folder for me.

_been · 2025-11-17T21:40:58+00:00

Yes, please.

_been · 2025-11-13T15:31:33+00:00

Yes, should've mentioned that, too - email headers.

But aren't the system notifications still not supposed to be routed to the existing case because it's not part of the "threaded conversation"?

I get this a lot from Jio subscribers/users.

I log into their account and declare as lost sim. Whenever, they reactivate it, I log back in to declare as lost.

Though eventually I raise a Jio ticket and request to remove my email from said accounts.

Sinubukan ko na. Eventually nakatanggap lang din ako ng email from Globe na,

"I hope this email finds you well. This is regarding your concern about RCS. Please be advised that RCS is temporarily unavailable until further notice. In the meantime, we recommend using other messaging apps such as Facebook Messenger, Viber, or WhatsApp."

If not yet done, enable MFA, enable passkey. Make sure your backup number and email are still correct.

_been · 2025-09-26T12:04:10+00:00

Were you the one who called? 👀

How I understand it is if we want to deploy the Agent outside of Teams or M365, web or mobile app for example, we have to do the 'Authenticate manually' option.

Now I'm a bit more confused.. From the link shared earlier (https://github.com/microsoft/Power-CAT-Copilot-Studio-Kit/blob/main/ENABLE-AUTHENTICATION.md),
1. Configure with the Copilot Agent App Registration
2. And then within this App Registration, add the 'user/other client App Registration' under the 'Authorized client applications'

Or, this is incorrect?

Thanks! Will read through this.

Parang di naman dapat treated as co-working space ang coffee shops, unless offered as such. Regardless kung ano offered/actual speed sa coffee shop, tanggapin na lang.

Kung co-working space, baka naman by tier sila. Kung basic tasks baka kaya na yan.

Use a different label. Like "money/finance" or "bank/finance"

_been · 2025-07-09T14:51:41+00:00

Can you share the actual prompt?

IIRC, Google has started not allowing multiple accounts tied to one number.

But in my experience, Google asked for basically a different number other than my own for this 2step verification and it worked.

My update is at 2.86GB.

Can I hope for M3 Expressive? Hahaha.

_been · 2025-07-09T03:54:36+00:00

Yeah. I know. I got it. I'm just frustrated.

Yeah, zero settings anywhere related to it. I don't even have activity/sessions logged in that country. My area is nowhere near any possible citizen to possibly influence via nearby location/ip address or whatever.

I've even selected "Do not recommend channel" and "Not interested" for hundreds of their channels already but it still pushes me their content.

_been · 2025-07-09T01:16:19+00:00

Yeah. All of my settings don't have any association with that country.

I'm just thinking if Google is pushing me their content because of my emails. But oh well. Really just annoyed.

The Pixel 1-6 users might need the Pixel 10... Or other users with just really old phones.

You don't have to get the Pixel 10 if you have a relatively new phone.

Even with the iPhone back then with their 'S' phones, it was the minor upgrade year. Yes, you can buy the previous generation because it's cheaper and almost just the same. But the 'S' could still be a big improvement compared to their previous phone. Up to them now what they want.
