Phone is dead so notification code option is off. (which didn't always work in the past, eg when i forgot a password - which i think isn't the case now) I don't want to go downstairs and turn on my phone, for the principle of it. Clicked 'i cannot use my phone' sereval times during mutiple attempts to find other ways to log in . Google says i have to use my phone Did they change policies? Could it be that someone hacked my account, fb also notified 'suspicious login attempts but they were so recent (one min ago) that it must have been me.
