I created my account with Google. But then Google shut my account down for posting too much pirated music to Youtube. How do I get back into my Greenfield Fitness account?

Hellō has you set up multiple recovery providers and methods, making it unlikely that you'll lose access to your Hellō account. Visit https://wallet.hello.coop after you go through https://www.greenfielddemo.com/ and you'll see the workflow.

Giving you control of your identity is our mission. You online presence should not be held hostage by any of the social providers, which is why we encourage you to add backup providers so you can recover your Hellō Wallet if you lose access to your preferred provider.
Losing access to your users is also a risk as a developer as the provider can take away your app access to their service. Our goal is to be neutral and not be able to take away either the user's account, or the developer's access.
