Thanks to the power of Google and friends who care, my Google Account lock-out is now resolved. Thanks to Varun, who found an amazingly helpful thread on XDA. “Simply” remove Android Login Service from your Google Account Security settings. I had 9 in there and clearing them all followed by a restart on my phone has me back in business!
Be careful out there … and if you know Varun personally buy that man a beer if you see him before I do!
Interesting. I was close, but not exactly right. Bookmarking this solution.
This fixed about 95% of my problem though the main stuff was resolved. I have had to go into account settings to revoke access for a few more services to clear matters. I’m sure this will happen a few more times …
