Google account annoyances

Just cleared my Google Chrome browser data as usual!

Next thing I noticed is am signed out of my Gmail account!!!! I don't think, this has ever happened before when I cleared the browser data!!!!

Then Google forced me to go some very awkward two step verification through my Samsung phone, which I have been using for years. Google claimed they sent me a message that I needed to tap on. However, there the never was any message to tap on despite repeated requests to resend!!!!

For some odd reason, Google would also not recognize my password when I entered it on my phone even though I have used this same password for a long time. Android is the OS on my phone. The Gmail app and Chrome browser is also installed and used on my phone.

Of course, I tried some of the other options Google offered, but of no use!

Thus, I turned off this horrible two-way notification!!! And voila, I was able to sign in again with my usual password!

I bet, I will now be annoyed with frequent nudgings to activate two-way notification again!
