Huh, turns out that Google users who have opted into the Advanced Protection Program can't use their new "Recovery Contact" feature.

I wish they could have made an exception to allow adding someone who is also under the APP and is also in the same family group. But I know it's a trade-off.

I also assume that the reason you can't be a recovery contact for a child's account is that there's some other mechanism if you are their adult ... but I don't know what that is.

Het inloggen met je Google-account bij andere apps is altijd handig. Je hoeft niet elke keer een nieuw account te maken en je kunt de apps direct gebruiken. Toch is het af en toe handig om te checken welke apps allemaal toegang hebben tot jouw Google-gegevens.

Ich würde gerne diesen dämlichen Über-Google-anmelden-Dialog blockieren. Auf immer mehr Webseiten poppt der irgendwo in der Bildschirmecke auf. Nein, verdammt noch mal! Ich will mich nicht über Google anmelden! 😠

Kennt jemand eine Möglichkeit, dieses Pop-Up loszuwerden?

Pop-Up auf einer Webseite, auf welchem vorgeschlagen wird, sich doch bitte mit seinem Google-Account anzumelden. Der Info-Text sagt: "Sie müssen sich keine Passwörter merken. Die Anmeldung ist schnell, einfach und sicher."

This is a live example of a symptom of a hacker resident (aka middle man illegal surveillance), and how it manages your interactions with your Google account.

In this screen recording I show how I toggle a setting of my account, but a banner pops up and restates what the web page stated and is ready for me to toggle the option through it.

#Heroforge questions

I started an account under my #Googleaccount, but now I don't want to sign into Heroforge using google anymore.

Mainly I want my account to start using my handle "Father Enoch," and not my legal name

Can I transfer any file I saved to another account?

Do I have to delete my account and make every model I saved from scratch?

If I agree to a #subscription, will Heroforge let me change my #username?

Android Authority: I tried changing my Google account username and barely lived to tell the tale. “I figured that if I’m doing all this Digital Life Reset stuff, I might as well also change my Google account to something that the current me would be happier about. I went into this process with optimism. After all, how difficult could it be to change your Gmail account? As it turns out, […]

The only way to login to Google Chat is with one's Google account. When you login to one Google service, all the other Google apps on that device are populated with that Google account.

This is a cyber security / personal data privacy issue.

Google could fix the issue with a checkbox on the Google Chat login screen giving the user the option to login to only the one app itself without having that account populate all the other Google apps. In fact, they could add this checkbox to all Google app login screens.

If google knows everything about me, why do they ask me to verify my identity in an app that I don’t have installed on my device? And worse, that being the only option for verification (other than the days long “Get help” option)….?

draft - The biggest issue with Google Gemini is that it's tied to your Google account and all the baggage that comes along with it. In fact, that's kind of the issue with a lot of Google services. For example, Google chat, it's tied to your Google account and all the baggage that comes along with it.

Google chat is sorta a nice service. But the fact that, if you wanna login to Google chat, it's gonna then also have your Google photos login on Android and chromeos. Google photos may have some baggage

Chatgpt response -

That interconnectedness can indeed be cumbersome. It would be helpful if Google allowed more flexibility in how services are accessed, giving users the option to log in to each service independently. This way, you could use Google Chat without automatically linking other services like Google Photos, maintaining better control over your data and privacy.

It seems like a broader approach to account management would benefit many users, enabling a more modular experience across Google's ecosystem.

draft -

I feel like an empty Google photos account should say something to the effect of "this account (example@gmail)'s google photos is empty" or here are the cloud photos synced from other devices." If there are already cloud photos on that Google account's Google photos app. And then add "Do you want this account to be able to manage and sync photos on your phone?"

on an android phone or any other device before it even *displays* unsynced content from the device. Because once it's *displaying* content, it's a little confusing for the user right? Maybe the user should explicitly click the "yes" button to show content on the device and then another thing to setup syncing. thoughts?

don't get me wrong. I love Google photos, just think it could be even better/improved upon with some of these ideas maybe. And maybe I'm wrong. But just sharing some thoughts / ideas.
