2004 was a good year, but your Gmail address doesn't need to be stuck in it.
To say goodbye to [email protected] or [email protected] (or whatever you were into at the time), go to your Google Account settings and choose any name available. You'll keep your old username and you can sign in with both.

A PSA: use security keys wherever they are supported. Esp for your email, which can be used to recover other accounts. More so if you are a risk of targeted attacks. They won't solve all your problems but it is hygiene for security folks in 2022

Google is bringing passkey support to Android and Chrome! Users can now create and use passkeys on Android devices. 🔑🔒
Passkeys are a significantly safer replacement for passwords and other phishable authentication factors

“We can’t change the behavior of 7.7 billion people on earth, technology needs to work by default, out of the box” - @argvee @Google during today’s rockstar @NewYorkerFest cybersecurity panel with the incredible @runasand @hacks4pancakes & @nicoleperlroth – at Manhattan, NY
It's common for family to want to access a deceased loved one's Google account. Sometimes the legal stuff is hairy and it may not go down like the family wants. It just sucks.
Set up Inactive Account Manager; think of it like a beneficiary for your Gmail support.google.com/accounts/…

State of Account Recovery in parts of the web. We can do better.
Called a help desk to get an account unlocked after my password had expired & I didn’t answer the security questions correctly.
They asked my name & then gave me a new password over the phone.
No other questions.
Only my name.
Just wanted to say this kind of thing still happens.
