Worth noting so long as you have your SIM and can receive text messages, you can recover your google account, and log in with just username and password. Which gets you into all the 2FA stuff if you use google authenticator. One of the lessons I learned there is just how insecure all that is. Even though it made recovery possible for me, it means its not secure at all, and I need to revise my approach and unlink things.
