I had the same thing with both Google and Apple.

I have a Gmail account lost because they unilaterally activated 2FA on it with a fake phone number (something like 111111111).

And for Apple, moving abroad made the appleid system crash in an loop and nobody in the support system has any idea how appleid works.

Do not use any of the tech giants for any important data.



Were either of these paid accounts?


Only the Apple one was but anyways, that doesn't excuse borking up the login, even if it's free.

If they don't want us to use a free account, they can simply tell us.


Agreed!
