Send the KeePassXC .kdbx password database to your cell phone, download it to your phone, then upload it to Strongbox (or other). I find the easiest way to send it to my cell phone is by using Signal's "Notes to Self." All my devices that have Signal and have KeePassXC then have access to the updated database.
When I was admining G Suite, if you wanted to call in, you needed to login to get the phone number and an access code. Which is hard to do when you can't log in.
You could avoid using SMS for 2FA. Most websites offer TOTP as first choice for 2FA. For the ones that insist on SMS 2FA being first choice, I don't bother using anymore. I delete the account and find another provider.
"most websites" has not been my experience at all. Sure, for the big ones like email that's and a lot of dev tooling that's the case. But there's a huge amount of services that requires SMS verification and once you loose access to that number you get locked out. A very common case is loosing ones phone (or having it stolen), at which point you have to log into your accounts again from another device but also don't have access to your SIM anymore.
Funnily Google suite does not offer TOTP with Google authenticator… Unless you use SMS/Voice 2FA first… and then you can activate TOTP, I asked if I can then remove the phone number later, and was told that it is possible, and that they won’t use this number for anything in the future. But who knows…
I ran into a variant of this issue: I received an email at my primary address (recovery address for Google) that someone is attempting to log into my old Google account, and that the request was blocked. I try to reset password, hoping that the reset link is sent to my recovery address but Google doesn't allow that.
The only option is to "try and enter the last password I remember". Besides that there's no way to reset the password.
Why even bother informing me at my recovery address about the suspicious login then?
As long as a recovery address exists, it must be able to reset password?
Good idea, but when I try to reset the password, it asks me for the last password I remember https://i.imgur.com/vedOeJG.png and then I am brought back to the same page https://i.imgur.com/JAXxcvl.png ... (I tried my current password and the last two before that).
Try a different machine and a different internet connection. Maybe your phone - just a nice normal everyone-has-one machine - if you're on an anonymous or strange version of Linux, or using a VPN, or datacenter internet connection etc, they might be blocking you automatically.
I'm not saying that's good behaviour on their part but it looks that way.
Well, that's not good. It's frustrating that there isn't a customer support division that you can talk to either, at least for escalated issues like the ones we face.
yeah not good... and the only reason I started to save my previous passwords is because of Google. It is the only company that I know of that uses obsolete data to verify that you are the account holder.
If your question was "Alternative to Instagram that lets me import my existing archive" then you'll find Pixelfed is 'not the droid you're looking for'. Like the vast majority of the new fediverse apps, it provides no way of bringing your existing content with you, when you join.
If you consume reddit on a read-only basis, projects like libreddit and teddit are great alternatives to consider. I have completely switched to libreddit two months ago and I am happy with the decision:
