Hello,
A sad confusing state of affairs.
I have no idea what I am doing. Sorry if I am on the wrong page or asking this question in the wrong topic or to the wrong community. Forgive me.
I rec'd this notice from google:
Couldn't Sign you in
You’ve tried to sign in too many times. For your protection, you can’t sign in right now.
Try again later or sign in from a different device.
Since I have no other device from which to log in. Now what? I read some posts in the community on this topic. Many in fact. In one post, 220 people, in a very short time, said they were having the exact same problem. I assume in search of answers as well. It wasn't long after this the reply button for that question was turned off. I stayed to read what folks had to say. The advice went from, obviously didn't read the question before they answered the post, to that cannot possibly be the only end result to such a problem.
The answer I read from the Google community volunteers and not an employee of Google; believe that, even though the message says 'try again later' and I wait and do, there is no specified time of what 'later' is in this great void of the abyss of all that encompasses 'later'. chuckle.
No matter the wait time, I still get the message, couldn't sign you in, try later.
Several posts indicated that if you are an unfortunate recipient of this curious message, those who are in the know, know, all must wait 7 full days, nearly 170 hours, before attempting to access your account. If you even try before the secret time limit is up, the 7 day clock starts again.
Before this message, during sign-in, I was sent the standard text message code. I responded and input the code into the little text box as expected and the agreed upon response by all parties....as always, I was promptly logged into my email account. No problem.
Monkey work. Boxes pop up. Fill in. Get a cookie. a sucessful log-in.
Heavy sigh. Is it true the only alternative is wait 7 full days to regain access, or once again, open a new google account and start over?
I can understand, google needs to police a wide range of situations but I didn't get a notice to please verify it's you, other than the standard, sent you a text message. Which was promptly input and accepted. Monkey work. You ask. I do. ........lol.......so where's my cookie?? 😄
I do understand the need of google's security position. I am unclear about the hidden time limit to get back into our accounts, if indeed this 7 day secret time limit is true.
Any advice is appreciated.
