I don't have the same phone I had 2 years ago. But I know my password, I had a recovery email address, heck I might have even had a recovery question and answer. But NONE of that matters - despite having the same password as always, it wants me to use my old phone I no longer have to confirm it's me. Despite having set up a recovery email or anything and everything else once upon a time, when I click "try another way" the only options, the ONLY options, involve using a phone I no longer have. I didn't need a phone when I made this account back in 2006. Is there any single option to get my email back that doesn't require time travel to get back a now broken phone?
The only other advice has been to use the last computer and last location as last time I logged in, but I'm *already* doing that.
