Why does Google say I didn't provide enough information? ›

Does Google have all my information? ›

Google knows everything you've ever searched – and deleted

That can mean that, even if you delete your search history and phone history on one device, it may still have data saved from other devices.

If you can't sign into your Google Account with your normal 2-Step Verification, you can use a backup code for the second step. Create backup codes to use in case you lose your phone, change your phone number, or otherwise can't get codes by text, call, or Google Authenticator.

Some platforms, like ProtonMail, Tutanota, Mailfence, Hushmail, or Yandex Mail, offer the possibility to create an email address without phone number verification. These services focus on security and privacy, with end-to-end encryption of information.

If you've forgotten your Google Account password, you can try to recover it through the Google website. On your phone or computer web browser, go to www.google.com/accounts/recovery. Follow the instructions on the screen to reset your password.

Have you noticed lately that some of your Google searches have steered you wrong? There's a reason for that. Spammers are using artificial-intelligence tools to create an ocean of content, and Google's algorithms are ranking some of those robot-generated pages ahead of the information you actually need.

Instead it provides a list of websites that offer an answer. In almost every case some answers will be correct, some will be wrong. Google isn't some miracle library filled with correct answers. Instead it simply searches keywords for websites that provide an answer.

Yes, you read that right- Google is not always right. As hard as you may find it to believe, the results Google pops out from your search can be a perception or a vision of a particular content generator. Therefore, the answers you get from Google don't have to be always from experts or authentic sources.
