What used to be a UK
Is anybody else having similar issues? Google changed the process for logging in yesterday. Normally I would just sign in by tapping yes on the message that is sent to my phone as opposed to using a password. Google then asks me for a verification code that is sent to an alternative email-except the codes are not working when they are being sent and sometimes they are not being sent at all. It's annoying because I still have access to my email on my phone but nothing on the PC and there doesn't appear to be an immediate way of logging in on my PC. Of course Google is linked to my youtube and not being able to login has faffed that up also.

You can turn it off in this area once you can login to your account :- https://myaccount.google.com/security

But you will need to either get an email on your recovery email address that you set or phone number via sms or a message sent to one of your trusted devices first to be able to login to your account. If still logged in on a device that has not logged you out yet then turn it off with the link above. It's an added pain but understand why they are doing it too.
