Google Services forces password change and then only recognizes old password
Also, while changing my password, I tried using several passwords that I am extremely sure I had not used before with Google, and they just came up with a red "Type a password" prompt on the change screen, as if I hadn't typed anything. I changed it all around, and it still took something like 10 different tries with different variations on passwords I am capable of remembering, for it to accept a new password. And then, as I say, it's as if I never changed it as far as logging into my Google Account is concerned.
If it weren't for the fact that I got what appears to be valid re-verification steps in there, I would suspect I was hacked. But I did get valid Google system reverification steps, which all look correct.
Are your security systems having issues? Note this is NOT the "it is the customer's responsibility to set up security" issue that y'all always fall back on. These are *extreme* and *troubling* glitches in y'all's security systems.
I am beginning to feel like I live in a country run by organized crime. Since when did we become the Soviet Union? Oh, 2016, that's right... sigh...
