    Well the alternative to having to recover your account is to prevent you losing access to it which usually comes in the form of 2FA or MFA.

    If you’re so protective of your personal information that you don’t want to hand over your phone number then you should be taking steps to secure your account.

    Or don’t use Gmail.
