Someone keeps trying to hack into my main Google account (I keep getting 2FA requests), which unfortunately was part of some early crypto activity and was traced back to me, and I don’t know what to do. I myself can keep denying them but I have a toddler and if he accidentally accepts one of them, I’m screwed. And since it’s impossible to reach anyone at Google, WTF do I do?

Is changing your password to at least stop {some of, all} the 2FA requests not helping?

It’s account recovery, not 2FA, my bad

2FA or account recovery? I keep getting account recovery requests and it's pissing me off.
