Updating Firefox suddenly fixed this for me. I then later just had my entire google account banned and I had to create a new account. They even attempted to IP ban me as well. Said I was banned until 2036 or something like that.

So you lost access to gmail as well?

[–] dorumon@lemmy.cafe 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah and I had to change my gog and itch.io email addresses.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Damn, and that's just the ones where swapping the email is possible without access to the original. More and more services seem to send a verification code at login. I guess you're just shit out of luck then.

I better stop watching youtube then.

You didn't get any options to unlock your account early, like pay a penalty or something?

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Your account got banned from YouTube, or you got banned from Google and it's apps?

[–] CoffeeTails@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Please reply to this dorumon

If it's a ban from the whole google echo-system that is fucked up. I sadly still have a lot of important stuff linked to my google account.

[–] dorumon@lemmy.cafe 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah it was a ban from the Google eco system.

[–] CoffeeTails@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Damn, that's rough

+, I've been untangling from Google for years, still find the odd thing going to Gmail that could screw me over

[–] CoffeeTails@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I've started recently too. Slow and steady. But if this is true, I need to hurry tf up. It's sad we (in Sweden) practically HAVE to have a google account since we use an app called BankID for everything with banking and identifying ourself with the government. So no google account ≈ no id

You can get the BankID for your bc but only for windows and I don't have a windows pc anymore.

[–] JaddedFauceet@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

what is the reason for the ban?
