Doesn't most services just create an account like normal when you sign in with eg. Google, if the email is verified? Then you can just use the forgot password and use your mail to log in without Google even if it was created with Google. At least that is my experience.



I've definitely been stuck in a loop where it said that I signed up with Google and must use Google to sign in when I tried to use my email to reset my password.


No, if you sign in with Google you don’t have a password. There is nothing to forget, or reset. That’s the whole point.
