Jake Brown (@Useful_Idiot02) reported@nukemjukem_24 @IAm7ine2 @NostalgiaFolder For me it was a mix of letters and numbers uppercase and lowercase. It was our login password for the school computers and the school gmail so you used it constantly and if you didn't remember it you were ******

†xknight† (@exknighttx) reportedTools needed * Avast vpn set to Honolulu * Old Gmail with unrecognized password * spoofing your device to avoid leaking Create an account as a mistress looking for sissy, after that your account will be on pending , if you are lucky it will be approved after some hours and if you are unlucky they block the account. Once your account is approved , use a picture that display something about **** not the mistress picture you are using , don’t use cover picture cos it will always show errors

Clarence Wong, CCIM (@ClarenceWongCRE) reported@DannySimsMusic We use a Google powered server, but I use Outlook to organize my email. A few employees just use Gmail for email & I know one other person who likes Outlook too. So what you said makes sense as to why I got an email for the “reaction” from broker assistant.

Ausi Releh (@RELEH_LEGODI) reported@VehicleTracker8 I have apathy for her. If she could post a video on Facebook where every she post it it means she has a smart phone and has access to Gmail and data. It's the issue of not knowing how to use the resources you have at hand. She's was out smart that's that

Nathan.M (@NathanAMeeks) reportedFor the Google products you also need to enable Grok permissions within Google. You can't do this directly from Gmail or Google drive. You need to download Google Admin. You will have difficulty logging in if you're currently signed in Google on your device with the Admin account you're trying to sign in on. Ask Grok to walk you through steps. Alternatively you can create a new account for use of Grok app but you will need to share your contacts/folders you want Grok to have access to modify or know the email address to send to.

aunty gormint bro beeble (@mkhanpasha) reportedI’m finally switching from Gmail, not to another provider, but to a self-managed email account using Postfix + Dovecot on the server that also runs my website. To read and process my email, I’m using a terminal-based program: aerc. It has been so smooth I want to cry.

doeseatoats (@DoesEatOatss) reported@TomJamesia8m @gmail I don't need support. I need gmail to stop challenging my login.

Trevor Vaughan (@TrevorAVaughan) reportedSpent weeks debugging "inexplicable" API errors building an AI outreach system on @AnthropicAI Claude. Grok, Claude, Gmail, Slack, Railway — all failing. Looked like broken code. Wasn't. Root cause: Squarespace silently blocks outbound API calls from domains on their platform. Including Claude API. No error. No docs. Just walls. Switching to Google Business fixed everything in one move. If you're building on Claude and running on Squarespace — that's your problem. Took me weeks and Gemini to find it. Saving you the time. @AnthropicAI — this is worth a known-issues note. Small biz builders are your customer base. Many are on Squarespace.

Behi (@Behi_Sec) reported6/ Problem 2: Based on my experience, I knew this bug could only affect Google Tasks data. It couldn’t be used to attack Docs, Calendar, Gmail, etc. And Google Tasks has limited functionality. Gemini can only create or delete tasks.

A M I N _ @RT 🇮🇷 (@amin_n_10) reported@Artcrush It keeps giving me submission errors, and it won’t connect with Gmail either. Please understand that things are really difficult for us here in Iran

Robin Loona (@Robin_loona) reported@Google my Gmail account is not working and I sent an appeal. Appeal was approved but email is still not working. I need urgent help. It hasn't worked for 2days now.

Ravi Jat (@RaviJ56670) reported@TeamYouTube @TeamYouTube I cannot access my Gmail account to reply to any email. That is my main issue. I am stuck in a "Same-Email OTP" loop and my phone is broken. Please send me a Direct Message (DM) here on Twitter so I can provide an alternative email for recovery.
-
KV (@kv_interlink) reported@DigiworldWeb3 I think losing your Gmail is a very serious issue because it acts as the key to protect your account. Without it, you can hardly prove that the account belongs to you.

Alpha Batcher (@alphabatcher) reported> built the agent locally > watched the demo work > gave it Gmail, Intercom, and Slack > closed the laptop Friday night > came back Monday to 12 missed tickets > opened the logs > found a retry loop > checked API spend > found 3 days of calls with no completed task The prompt did not need more cleverness. The setup needed: > one narrow job per agent > off-laptop hosting > live status for every run > spend caps > approval before customer emails > errors that stop the workflow instead of hiding in logs After Claude Code, OpenClaw, n8n, Render, and Railway, Teamly solved the part I kept underbuilding. Claude Code gave me power in the terminal. OpenClaw gave me the self-hosted agent setup. n8n gave me wiring. Render and Railway gave me containers. Teamly gave me the missing runtime: > agents that stay online > visible work > OAuth connections > a place to catch stuck runs before customers do A weekend demo becomes an AI team when failures are hosted, visible, capped, and approved.

TadasG 💻 (@tadasgedgaudas) reported@maks6361 VPN is fine, just make sure you always always connect from the same location and if you're creating account do it with gmail/apple login

Meriam Al Sultan سا(حرة) 🪄 (@AlSultan_Meriam) reported@Scobleizer @mattbramanti So here’s what happened The person got Robert’s login credentials through a data leak which also included his phone number Once the hacker tried to login Google sent Robert 3 numbers in the Gmail app Which the hacker called Robert and instructed him to click the correct number that he sees at the hackers’ end. It sounds very simple and totally avoidable, you would be very surprised how people who work in tech and very knowledgeable can easily fall victims of this simple trick, that’s mainly because of the method those people use by calling urging you to take a step supposedly to protect your account, and in the moment it puts the person in a survival mode and makes them very vulnerable until the moment is gone and they start blaming themselves. Also if Google is set it as recovery and verification for other accounts, then the hacker basically got an open door to hack all of their accounts.

Aqeel Bacchus (@BuiltByAqeel) reportedSpun up a personal AI agent on a $7/month server today. Gave it access to my Gmail. It cleaned 2,000+ unread emails while I worked on other things. Receipts labeled. Promos deleted. Urgent stuff flagged. I just watched the logs roll in from my terminal. This is what AI agents actually look like in the real world. Not a demo. Not a prototype. Running right now.

AZchilly (@AZchilly) reported@dotkrueger magic link issues: Issue: Transactional emails via Resend stopped delivering to Microsoft domains, protonmail, etc. Gmail delivery is fine. Delivery worked through May 9. No bounces, no junk, no quarantine — messages appear to be silently dropped. This matches current Microsoft EOP behavior (upstream deferrals/blocking). Please check SNDS/JMRP status, SMTP logs to Microsoft MX (451/421, S3140/S3150), and whether the shared IP pool is being throttled by Microsoft. This issue is Resend... They are familiar with it and they have a work around.

Mike @ X (@mic1459) reportedHey @grok @xai, I connected my Gmail and Google Calendar but it's still not pulling any data on my end. The connectors show as connected but nothing comes through when I ask Grok to check them. Anyone else having this issue?
