    First step for me if I lose my Google, or Apple account is... panic.
    It is kinda scary just how much information we have stored with these two companies. I have used both Android and iOS, so I have a LOT of data stored on their cloud services.... I also use Google chrome... and that doesn't include the information that my gmail, youtube, and other services collect.
    I feel like that if a hacker successfully steals either of these accounts, they've committed probably the most invasive attack possible.

    I don't use Gmail and don't use my Google ID to sign in to 3rd party web sites. However, I do use Google Sheets extensively and your video really made me think about backups. I will occasionally create copies of my most important Sheets but, of course, they are just saved to the same Google account. But, is there any way to save or export Sheets to another location or Google account ?

    • @askleonotenboom
      @askleonotenboom  9 місяців тому

      You can share them with another Google account, i suppose, but the best way to ensure you get everything in your sheet backed up is to periodically download it to xlsx or odt formats.

    I may or may not have fallen for a snailmail phish. I got an unsolicited letter, called the number, gave the guy my phone# and email. Afterwards it hit me that I hadn't doubted the sender -- which I'm conditioned to never do with email. So I get an email with info I'd requested as an attachment. I haven't downloaded the attachment yet. I'm not very suspicious, it probably is legitimate. But just as a matter of protocol, I dropped my guard because the source was old skool media. Live and learn--as do the cybercriminals.

    Hello uncle I want you to help me or anyone who sees my comment to help me. I have logged out of all my devices and changed devices from computer to phone and the Gmail can no longer be retrieved because it is asking me for the code. It will arrive in the mail and unfortunately the mail is not registered on any device so I cannot receive the mail. I can log in using my phone number. I can verify with the phone number only, and I cannot verify with the code because the code must contain the email registered in one of the devices that I had and lost. Now I have new devices, phone and computer, and I cannot access my Google accounts. Is there any solution? Thank you.
