[Q] Google Account Comptimised - Gmail and Gtalk dont function now

My house mate has an un-rooted HTC Sensation. Recently when going to Gmail on her PC browser she got some kind of message about her account had been accessed from another country and she needed to verify via call or text.
She verified via text and I think changed her password.
Now, Gmail doesn't notify her of new mails, she has to go in and refresh. Also, trying to open Talk means a black screen appears and within a split second it closes, no errors.
I've tried clearing data on all Google apps. I would remove the account and re-add it, but it says I can't as apps are tied to the account.
Any ideas what has happened and how it can be fixed?

Give the Accounts help page a try.

Thanks, but I can't really select any of those. Logging in is fine.
(How do I correct my spelling error in the thread title! lol )

You might be better off using her PC in that case.
I selected option 2 from the original link (I think someone else is using my account) and it lead to this:-
If you still have access to the email address you use to sign in, visit our password assistance page to reset your password and to prevent anyone else from accessing your account again in the future.
Note that resetting your password requires your account recovery options. If your options aren't suitable to reset your password, click the link to the account recovery form (learn more) which will appear at the bottom of the recovery options page.

and then to this
Account recovery form
If you find yourself locked out of your account and none of your other recovery options work, your last option is to visit our password assistance page, and click the link underneath the recovery options to verify your identity. This will take you to our account recovery form.
Take time to fill out each section of the form to the best of your ability. It was designed to ensure that no one can gain access to your account except you.
For example, if you use Gmail, you can provide the verification code you received when you first created your account. The verification code is a unique set of letters and numbers that identifies you as the creator and owner of your Gmail address. Since Google doesn't collect a lot of information about you when you sign up for an account, we will also ask you questions like when you created your account, what Google services you use, and who you email frequently (if you use Gmail).
If you fill out the recovery form and aren't successful on the first try, you can try again. Make sure to wait until you receive our reply before you submit another report. Important: Try to provide as much information as possible on each attempt. Each submission is evaluated independently.
If you're unable to recover access to your account using the recovery form, you can create a new account. Gmail usernames cannot be recreated, so if you were using Gmail, please pick a new username.

What I'm saying is, none of them apply. She's reset/changed her password now and can use her account no problem. The issue is app/phone related.
I have started a new thread in the mobile section of the Google help forum though, thanks.

Right I'm with you. Confusion rules!

Where does Android store email password?

Hello
I'm using LG Optimus Black 4.0.4 - stock rom, rooted.
I want to transfer my company email account from default email application to K-9 email app. But i dont remember the password. Is there any location that we can see the password? I've found wi-fi passwords as plain text. I hope I can read email password too.

Why not reset the password (or click on 'Forgot Password')?
That way you can create a new password, and log in using that. :good:

Of course I understood you mate. You want to use K-9 email app to manage your company email account, right? But you don't remember it's password. So, the easiest way is to reset the password and set a new one. Then you can enter the new one in the K-9 app and login! Simple. :good:

XDA gets very suspicious when someone new signs up to the forum and their first question is about something that could easily be used to obtain hidden information that you shouldn't do.
How do we know that you are not trying to access someone else's email password without their permission?
If this is, truly, for your own work email then just ask the IT department to reset your password - but it is highly doubtful you have really forgotten your work password and sounds dodgy.

I had a similar problem as well. My email password could not be changed, there was no way to recover the password through the provider, and the workaround would have been to wait a few months for the account to be deleted and then reregister. Thankfully, I found the solution with a little googling.
Browse to /data/user/0/com.android.email/databases and copy EmailProvider.db to your computer. Other phones might have their database in a different location. Download and install Sqlite Database Browser from sourceforge.net if you haven't, and then skip down to the sqlitebrowser instructions here:
http://ubuntu42.blogspot.com/2011/11/android-recover-mail-password.html

Decrypt the password
On samsung phones, the passwords in /data/user/0/com.android.email/databases/EmailProvider.db are encrypted. You will need to use the 'samsung-password' decryption tool: lovasoa.github.io/samsung-email-password-decrypt/

O STF up do you know how many emails i have? No But i'll tell you 2 personal 3 for work a spam and 2 for shopping not everyone likes using one or two emails for 700 things. you know how hard it can be at times to remember passwords... tell me haven't forgotten a password and wish you could just recover it without having to fight to reset it. sometimes it's not as simple as yahoo where you don't even have to be the owner of the ****ing email to to reset it. Not only that but again he has it on his old phone trying to put it on his new phone or switch apps to something simpler... i'm with him i have about 4 phones with emails on them i don't even remember making... so NO actually he sounds like a legit worker that is tyring not to a piss off the I.T. guys by giving them more **** tastic jobs that we just loving doing. because it's not like we don't have More pressing matters to attended to like fixing your printer that people like to over cram so they have to refill it less often. or constantly keeping you in work by repairing your computers that crash on you well you are doing graphs and slide shows. we would love to stop all that to reset your password you should have put in a secure place to begin with.

TLDR...
Did you really create an account just so you could respond abusively to my post from 4 1/2 years ago? Srsly?

Who changed the Vivo first password?!?

Somebody must of changed the public account password as it says it is not correct. This is ridiculous that I can't enable a service without a password. Anyone else having this problem?

I sent a message via Facebook and they fixed it. That was fast.

Make your own account. I think using a public account is not safe. I was able to make my own account using a SMS verification service online (https://onlinesim.ru/en). You'll have to buy "credits" (i purchased 51 credits for a buck or so) to use a china based number (i used the "telegram" verification option and had a verification number pretty quick). Once you get an account bind your personal email and set up a password. Hope this was helpful.

Then you verify it through the email you linked to the account.

Hey you were kind enough to help me get an account set up last week. I had to reset my phone and I am able to log into my Vivo account again using my email and password that I linked to it. The phone then asks you to request a code again through your phone number. I was hoping that would be forwarded to my email but I guess not as I don't receive any codes within the one-minute time frame. Any ideas?

Recover google password

Hey buddies, I'm looking for some help
Basically I changed the pass of my main Google account one week ago being sure that my browser saved it like I always do but it didn't happen.
I forgot it (prob I'm missing some words) and I can't retrieve it because Google is a ***** one, I tried many times to recover it fullfilling all the camps but I can't complete the recovery mail one since the mail that i I linked with the acc is expired somehow
So I'm looking for a way to recover the pass directly from the phone since I'm still logged in there, I tried with sniffing packets within my wifi but I got nothing and with looking for some database but nothing again
Any ideas or software that can help me out?

There is no need to use software or any kind of "hack" to recover the password if your are signed into the device with that account, as you claim you are.
If you're signed into the phone with the same Google account, use the "forgot password" feature, it will send an email to your gmail account, then just open the gmail app on the device and then find the email they send to change the password. If you are signed into the device with that account then you have access to the gmail app and the email for that account so this method should be sufficient.

Hello mate, thanks for you reply.
Yes, I'm logged into my main phone with the account that I'm trying to recover. If I do the "forgot password" feature from the browser or from the phone directly it will ask me the same things like it already did. I can complete all steps apart the mail one since the recovery mail is expired (my bad that I didn't change it).
For that I'm looking for some software/tricky way.
Regards.

[solved] I can't recovery google account !

i lost my gmail account recovery link email
Due to carelessness, when I changed my password I forgot and couldn't access my email
All the ways that I tried got the message to send the code to lost email (Email account recovery link) And the email is inaccessible.
I have a phone number for 2-step verification, old password before changing.
And the contact email address has recovered the account several times, I still use my home ip address to recover.
- But I reinstalled windows and phone due to fear of unauthorized access to my account
In that email there was nothing precious but commemorative photos of family and friends on google photo i would be very grateful if someone help me get my account back.
This is Google's mistake to not be able to recover the account just because the account recovery link email is lost.
This is a mistake by Google because when creating an account and when using it, they do not ask users to download the backup code,As well as a warning if the account recovery email is lost it will not be possible to recover the account.In fact, the account recovery email is a secondary email, so it is rarely accessed and used by users As well as the password login system, users rarely use their password after changing.
I got my account back by Reply find email by name and by phone number.I received a request to leave a contact email and after 48 hours of verification I changed my password

GMail accounts are managed by Google themselves. Hence contact them for getting helped.

Thanks for answering.
I have tried many ways to contact Google.I'm desperate because my country doesn't have a representative office of google.
I have tried contacting by phone but not helped by security issue will not be supported by phone.
-Do you know any google email address to contact account support ?
I posted on google community support page but got useless replies.
The xda forum is my last hope to get back these memories of my family.
Thank you very much.

Does anyone help me
I can't contact Google Can someone help me how to contact Google account support via email ?

I've done it this way many times but still got the code sent to the lost account recovery link email.
If I could just follow this guide and get my account back, I wouldn't need to create this thread.
I have tried many times following those tips and instructions to no avail. But the result is still sending the code to the long-lost email because it is not used often.
- I posted on their forum and they guide me like you.
-my problem is that i can't recover my account due to loss of link email, i shouldn't have added it to my account because i rarely access it.

Hi, look under Google drive webpage where you can purchase Google One storage plans. There should be a chat box.(like live text message) You can ask them to connect you with the department you need. Good luck.

I had the same problem like you once. I've never managed to recover that account. Never. They still have it and they can keep it if they want but they don't want to give it back to you. Why don't you try with some recovery questions? I guess you did but maybe you can try writing to them so they can give you some questions to verify that the account is yours.
