Three-week warning for anyone with a Gmail account

So this means millions of usernames registered to software, businesses, online sites and such will be available? I see a lot of fraud taking place if they make those names available again.
It's no news Google always shoot itself in the foot. I see law suits coming.
This is really bad news, Login to multiple gmail account one by one is very difficult, is there any gmail tools to login multiple account?
If there is a few or none, this sounds like a great business idea now
 
Thanks for the reminder. I have tons of gmail accounts. Need to relog into all of them. Good thing I have a .txt file in the cloud for all my accounts LOL
 
Google will https://metro.co.uk/2023/08/03/google-will-delete-inactive-accounts-in-december-2023-19251619/ next month as part of a major security update.

Users who haven’t used their account for at least two years face losing access to their inbox and everything stored within it – including photos and videos.

https://metro.co.uk/2023/05/18/log-into-google-or-theyll-delete-your-account-18806478/, Google said it would send multiple notifications to users whose accounts will be deleted, and has now begun this process ahead of the purge – which starts on December 1.
aaaaah but I have an acc I use for YT and nothing else -- would it also get deleted?
 
Google search is almost killed already in terms of overflow of advertising and AI spam. Now they are going to kill their mailservice too? Smart move!
 
As I understand it, even if you just log in to your account without doing anything, you can lose your Google account. There it was written in Google that there should be at least activity on YouTube. Accounts where there are uploaded videos are not deleted.

That's good to know! Just upload a simple video and never have to worry about losing the account.
 
I love the they/thems that work at Google now.

This is the hint for the recovery email they gave me...
 
Google will delete millions of inactive Gmail accounts next month as part of a major security update.

Users who haven’t used their account for at least two years face losing access to their inbox and everything stored within it – including photos and videos.

Announcing the new policy in May, Google said it would send multiple notifications to users whose accounts will be deleted, and has now begun this process ahead of the purge – which starts on December 1.

Luckily I had mine in an old Word file. So I have logged into them.
 
That's why we've been giving away Google accounts for free for quite some time)) At that time, we didn't even know what Google would do. Therefore, let these accounts that we distribute fall into good hands and serve for a very long and happy time))

How can i get those free gmail accounts?
 
and also all those crappy 3rdWorld blogger sites ?
Those were interesting back in the day, ROBLOX had an ambassador program set up and the goal was to paste some jS in your new blog posts and you'd get virtual currency daily when they were validated - thinking about that now, doesn't that mean indexing and ranking took 24-48 hours in ~2010?

They stopped this around 2012.

The jS would spin up content, I wonder if ROBLOX would be effected by this as there's still posts up all over?

I remember creating fake Gmails for that... Got me a rare badge doing it too. :cool:
