DWE Post (@dwepost) reportedDear Google Team, I can’t access my Gmail account. I forgot my password, and the standard recovery options are not working for me. This is my primary account. Please help me recover it as soon as possible. Thank you. Google ? Gmail ?
-
Jonathan Malkin 🦊 | Building with Claude (@builtwithjon) reportedIf you want Claude to send from multiple email accounts, the built-in connector is probably not the whole answer. Gmail drafts. Outlook reads. True send-from-each-account usually means a provider-specific MCP server and real auth hygiene.

Moh_Tem (@MuhammedTe74724) reportedCross-domain login loop — cookie was landing on the wrong domain ts// before: window.location.href = `${API_URL}/auth/google/login` // after: window.location.href = "/api/auth/google/login" Gmail link broke on mobile only rust// before: "#inbox/{id}" // after: "#all/{id}"

taobanker (@taobanker) reportedI tried to login gmail after my computer restarted and it asks me for phone verification, but my phone is off, so I clicked "Try Another Way". The "Try Another Way" is also phone verification (literally the same exact thing). It then offers a third way, which is TO CHECK MY EMAIL (that I can't sign into) for a recovery code LMAO. The fourth way is to install a *future* recovery email address so that this doesn't happen in the future. Why is literally everything retarded in 2026? Does anyone actually work at any of these companies?

hadi (@hadi16547182) reported@gmail I have already tried your automated help pages, and they are not working for a hijacked account after 58 days. I need to speak with a human support agent to provide my proof of ownership, not another automated link. Please escalate
-
Issam Hakimi (@killix) reportedClaude for Chrome v1.0.80 still lets other extensions silently read Gmail, Docs, Calendar after 8 patch releases. An agent touched your account and left no trace you can query. Fix: every action signed, every session an asciinema you can replay and kill. No replay, no governance.

SHRM (@Harsha549) reportedIt’s 2026 and the 6-member limit on the #GoogleOne family plan is still completely arbitrary and frustrating. Large families exist! #IndianFamilies I’ve had Gmail since 2008 (18 years of data & loyalty), I’m a Google Ultra Max user who previously gave feedback on Gemini’s initial limitations, and this should apply to all Google One subscriptions. We can’t pay for extra slots or add more members without a whole second plan. Time to fix this. One more stupidity is I can't my family members who are in India , I'm in the usa . It is completely arbitrary. I can share such feedbacks across our #Google. It is ours to make it better. Please think about it. I didn't find a Gmail to send the feedback. Hence sharing publicly. @Google @MadeByGoogle @sundarpichai

Nilesh AI (@nileshgiri34) reportedlast 3 hours! I downloaded 4gb gtav update on Epic Games then Rockstar games launcher gave account error then I tried my 3 Gmail accounts it did not match then password resets and then created new accounts on rockstar also! I give up! its not working at all!

sigma capitalist (@phithetasigma) reportedI'm not too worried about this because: 1. Model leadership lasts only 3-6 months. Look at the recent cadence of SOTA open/closed models. Token pricing is also in a race to the bottom 2. Alphabet has a moat that's incredibly difficult to break • Search (90% global share) • Ads (27% share, close to Meta's) • Multimodal capabilities - image, video, voice, text, etc • Supply chain and product expertise across devices (laptops, tablets, mobile, wearables, smart home devices, etc), OS (Chrome, Android), consumer & enterprise solutions (Gmail, Maps, Drive, Antigravity, etc) - and customer entrenchment 3. The proprietary data flywheel they have is second to none, and impossible to replicate I can't think of any other company that has such qualities, maybe Microsoft > Meta > Amazon Right now, they are victims of their own success - scale. It's a question of when, not if they fix their internal AI strategy to make it coherent across divisions

David Harris (@davidharris07) reported@YouTubeTV literally can’t sign in on my phone app because everytime you guys want to prompt me to tap yes on Gmail app or regular YouTube app where I have also been signed out of and can’t sign into any of that because it does the same thing
-
Cameron G | DevSecOps & Appsec (@camgrimsec) reportedIf one prompt can: • issue refunds • send invoices • access Gmail • edit databases • deploy code then that prompt deserves a security review

Jack (@jackcoder0) reportedIf this saved you money or made you realize the one paid tool that's genuinely worth keeping one ask: Repost the first post so the next person paying $97/month for AI tools sees the $0 version before their next billing cycle. Follow [ @jackcoder0 ] I break down the hidden tools, free alternatives, and overpriced subscriptions that companies bank on you not questioning. Next thread: the 11 Gmail features that replace $840/year of paid apps Superhuman, Boomerang, Calendly, Grammarly, and SaneBox. All free. All built in. All hidden in the Settings tab you never open.

Kelvin Gandhi (@sudo_kelvin) reportedI miss the confidence of my younger self who had no idea how complicated things actually were.. like “why does gmail allow only 25 mb attachments? maybe I could fix in my semester project" xD

Gbenga Akindolani |AI Engineer | Automation Expert (@__dolani) reportedAutomation is not only something you sell to clients. It is something you deploy for yourself the moment a tool you rely on starts failing you. Every friction point in your own workflow becomes a build. You stop waiting for other people to fix things you could fix in an afternoon. 2 days ago, A platform had no webhook. So I turned my inbox into one. I was splitting a course into a two-tier structure this week. New pricing, new access levels, new automations for onboarding paid members. The platform has an auto-invite bot that adds new customers to the members group after payment. That is the whole reason it was picked. Then it broke which I opened a ticket. Waited. Tried the fixes people posted in the forum. Nothing. So I did what I do for clients by building one But here was the catch. The platform does not expose a payment webhook. No API for the payment event. Nothing I could hook into cleanly. What it does do is send an email to the inbox every time a payment lands. That was the escape hatch. Gmail trigger in n8n. Every payment notification hits the inbox and fires the flow. The workflow parses the email, pulls the customer's details, and pushes them into the group with a welcome message. About 3 hours of work. Right as I was testing the last piece, the platform's bot came back to life. Of course it did. Two versions of me showed up at that moment. One was annoyed I had just burned an evening on something that was being paid for. The other paused and looked at what I actually had. A workflow I fully own with logs going straight into the database. This is the part of the skill people underrate. And when the tool does not give you an API, look at what it does give you. An email trigger, a webhook to a different service, a database export. There is almost always a way in.

Ryan J. Shaw (@RyanJamesShaw) reportedWeek 2 of building a local newsletter - sent my second issue out to 31 subs at the time (+20 since the last issue), describing 84 things going on in the area; 55% open rate - currently 41 subscribers: 34 active, 7 pending +13 week-on-week i.e. a 46% WoW growth rate! - 100 subs -> 1mo, 250 -> 4mo, 500 -> 8mo therefore, likely to start getting interest from sponsors about 3mo from now - subscriber pain point: so much stuff they want to do, it's difficult to keep track -> they asked for a way to favorite stuff - my pain points: editing down the volume of content is really difficult even with AI, especially since Gmail clips emails at 102KB - open questions: is Thursday the best day? I'll send out a poll when I have more subscriberss

Mamba (@opeyemi_ii) reported5/ Built with: Vercel + GitHub (hosting), Airtable (CRM), Zapier (automation), Paystack (payments), Google Calendar + Gmail (client comms). Small businesses deserve real automation too. This is what I build. Running a service business without this? Let's fix that, DM me.
