It’s not just TOS violations... I can’t get into my google account because they locked my password and don’t recognize any of my current devices. The account isn’t even suspended, they just have no support team so I can’t recover my account in any “algorithmically approved” way.

Btw. what usually works is just giving them a phone number, ideally a number that is associated with with one gmail account that is still in good standing.
Which of course completely defeats the "security" of this "security feature", but that's probably not the point of it anyway, they just want your phone number for meta data collection.

Unless you use Google Fi and get locked out of that, too, I guess?
