Google advanced protection program

This is what it says" Thank you for filling out our account recovery form. We know that losing access to your account can be frustrating. We want to help.

At Google, we take your privacy and security very seriously. We're committed to returning accounts only when we're sure that we're giving them back to their owners. Unfortunately, based on the information you provided, we were unable to verify that you own  To ensure that we're not compromising the security of⁴ this account, we can't yet return it to you.

Can you provide additional information to verify that you own this account?

If so, please visit our account recovery form and submit another request, sharing as much accurate information as possible. (If you're unsure about specific dates, that's okay; give your best guess).

If not, and if you'd like to create a new account, please visit our New Accounts page.

Because Google doesn't ask for much personal information when you sign up for an account, we don't have many ways to verify that you own an account. To confirm that you're the real owner, we need specific details during the recovery process. We can't accept identification documents as a proof of ownership because we don't consider that a secure method. If you'd like more information on these policies, please see "Recovering your account" on our Help Centre.

We apologise for any inconvenience. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding!

I cant.loose the email address and I only had this problem since the new Samsung /android 16 update to new system protection

Oh wait so you're actually just locked out of your account?

To enable advanced protection you need to own a physical passkey device, did you lose it or something?

The toggle for advanced protection in android 16 has nothing to do with your google account. You have the option to also enabled advanced protection for your google account if you setup a physical passkey.

Nothing here relates to android 16 or samsung, this is just a google feature.

If you never setup correct account recovery, setup account advanced protection then lost your passkey, that might be more on you than anything.



To sorta clarify. Android 16 added an advanced protection toggle on settings. This toggle adds extra protection to your phone. In the same menu is also a link to google account advanced protection. This has existed for years. Enabling account advanced protection is designed to protect your account from advanced hacking.

If you enabled advanced protection on your account, it forces you to add backup details to recover your account.

I'm kinda confused how you were able to enable it, then lost all of your backup methods

It was all fine until Samsung /android update.now I don't know if I remove the screen lock option ,I'll loose Samsung security.ty for your reply 👍🏼
