• Kindly use account recovery from previous logged in location/ip address and used device for your Gmail/Google account as Google will also check it in the backend.
  • Try to clear your browser cache or use a different browser from the same location and used device as well. 
• If you are unable to provide one of the verification details such as 2sv or backup code or recovery phone or email address, you may skip it by selecting “Try another way” in account recovery.
• If your account is hacked, you may provide the previous details you have such as previous used password, when you go through account recovery. 

If you cannot provide any of the requested recovery details and unable to use account recovery from previous logged in location and device, your account probably will not be recovered or lost. There are no other options.
