Securing a gmail - Mr.Ransom - Sep 4, 2017

lately i have been struggling with some small stuff.

so it started out me getting into a gmail and securing it. by changing password recovery email recovery phone and adding a google authenticator somehow magically the user recovered it back.
so i got in again and secured it with more security and added google auth backup codes revoked all acces to all previous devices and i taught i was set it was very late around 1am i see i get a lot of sign in attempts and recovery attempts i deny all.

i wake up and he got it back how does sombody do that?

am i doing somthing wrong or missing somthing

i am very confused since google or gmail, the support page is pretty much a meme.

i dont know what he did but when i go to recover the email it does not give me any kinds of recovery options he removed mine. but he did not add his.
i am very confused by this

If he has signed in from that ip adres few times before and knows shit like your recov mail and past passwords, it gets messy with google.

i mean trusted devices was revoked. and google support be like "has your account been hacked?" sign in to your account and secure it LOL their support page is a meme.

the only recovery that shows up on his email rn is showing me past passwords and when was the account created.

it actually makes 0 sense. now or later i will still have acces to his computer. so its just matter of time but it is very annoying.

It could be that he has access to your computer with RAT or anything else that can potentionally allow to recover it not hard
