Google doesn't let you into your account with your security questions even if you have the password., not anymore. No phone, no email. Which makes email less useful as it has for 30 years been an alternate way to contact people when you don't have your phone, it gets lost, stolen, breaks, you lose service.

Fuck you google, never again, Graphene OS first chance.

Security questions are well known as one of the least secure forms of authentication
