Ex google employee here.
I used to have two email accounts, one something I registered for fun (and my main email), other with my name+lastname@gmail. I set up forwarding from second one to first one, then I forgot the password.
I tried to login probably a decade later last year. Couldn't remember the password. Asked internally if someone could help. They said they can't(they can easily verify who I am if they wanted). I asked them to send a password reset to the same email ([email protected] gets password reset email for [email protected]), they said they can't do. This would have worked for me due to forwarding, but no...
Something's at google are great. Support is not one of them.
