Taking a Look at The 'Same Gmail OTP' Issue

The issue of Google often requiring the user to provide an one time passcode ("OTP" for short) is a common one on the Google Help Forums and across the internet.

It happens to users who need to verify themselves on a new device, perhaps because they do not have many/any verification options they can use.

To try to address this, I recommend that you do not rely on anything other than the official Help Centre articles for help. And, if you need guidance, to go to the official user communities, rather than a third party site.

This is what I, as a Product Expert commonly dealing with this type of question, normally write on the subject on those forums:

"When Google send a code to the very Gmail email of the Google Account being recovered, it is because-

• The user hasn't got enough verification options set up to verify themselves adequately, and-
• Google have to hope that the user has access to the Gmail's inbox on some other device or app, or is even forwarding to another email that they can access the inbox for.




One last tip- you can try waiting seven full days (168 hours, and not a minute less please) before you try again. It sometimes helps."

Ive had this issue since 2021, my account was linked to my same gmail, and i have to reset the password since i forgot about it, i have complete access to the phone but on the gmail, no chance.

Hi! I've recently had to reset my phone and lost access to one of my email addresses. I followed the steps on the guidebook. I've set up phone recovery, unfortunately, after I send the OTP that Google has sent to confirm that it's really me, they send the recovery or password reset link to the same account that I'm trying to recover .I also have a passkey setup, unfortunately after entering the passkey, they also send the password reset link to the same email address that I'm trying to recover. I was never prompted to enter a different email address where I can be contacted about my request. I seem to remember that in the past after entering the OTP that they sent, I was able to change the password directly on the app. Do you think that all hope is lost for this email? I'd be grateful for your advise.

Please answer and try to help new comment are not showing that's why I edit this comment..

I set up recovery number
Recovery email or any email setup I don't set up that

Two step:-
I set up passkeys
I have there 1 Google prompt/known device
I set up Google authenticator
I set up two step verification phone number
I set up 10 backup code

And now come to the topic I factory reset my phone so passkeys, Google prompt/known device not going to work...
I have Google authenticator code I can use it for one time but I already used in recovery process so I can't use or generate a new code and copy that! Next backup code I already used 10 of that backup code on recovery process but still Google doesn't verify me. Every time Google verify this recovery options then Google send next OTP to my same Gmail account that I am trying to recover! Same Gmail mail OTP! Does it make any sense at all!
And now I used all other option so I can't use it anymore Now I only have the recovery number and the two step verification number but still the problem is same after verifying that number with SMS OTP then next Google send OTP to my same Gmail! If I click try another way then always couldn't sign you in.
It's more than 9 month!

Why recovery number for
If someone lock out from the account then it can reset the password or it helps to get access back

Why recovery email for
If someone lock out from the account then it can reset the password or it helps to get access back

Why two step number for
Extra security If someone want to sign in using the password or try to reset password then this phone number will receive a OTP and that must
Inter to box then I can signin or change the password. It's similar to recovery number but it's always every time verify you with a OTP.


Note: Google always mention that set up a recovery phone number or setup a recovery email.

There is OR and first one is the number That's why I set up recovery number And I don't set up recovery email Because there is mention set up one of them.
what is the problem?
Why Google don't verify me?
Why Google send OTP to my same Gmail account? Why Google allow me to reset the password or signin!
Why Google not giving me the "How can Google contact you inter email"or"You need to wait 48 hours inter email" that option?

In Google account recovery Page

And most important those who sign out from browser or Android phone or any device they will 100% receive "How can Google contact you inter email"or"You need to wait 48 hours inter email" that option Why? (I tried that multiple times so I am sure about it in that case phone number verification then send Gmail OTP then try another way then the new option inter email it doesn't matter if I verify the other verification option or not important is verify the number)

And those who clear the data of the browser, uninstall the browser, use another browser and those who factory reset the Android phone, any device or just using a new device they will not going to receive "How can Google contact you inter email"or"You need to wait 48 hours inter email" that option Why? (I tried that multiple times so I am sure about it)

What is my fault? After factory reset I forget my password but that's normal so Google need to fix it.
Because Google mentioned that you need to set up one verification option recovery phone number or Recovery email. I set up the first one recovery phone number. Now I know recovery email setup also possible but the number and email work is same they are ability is same Then why Google think that's not enough? That was definitely Google fault I already explain you how. Sending OTP to the same Gmail account and stop the recovery process this is not fair there intentionally Stop the password reset process and also the recovery process.


Now now it's more than 6 month😢
Anti-experiment something creating situation like this and add a recovery email then try to recover then I noticed that with just a only recovery email Google account recovery possible if I clear data of the browser or uninstall the browser or even I factory reset the device it doesn't matter Google verify me by the recovery email and Google doesn't care all other recovery verification option.
Does it means without an recovery email Google account recovery impossible even I set up all other recovery option they are not going to help me!

Situation forget password I don't set up any recovery email and I factory reset the only Google sign in device.

google office jake recover ho sakti h kay meri gmail plzz reply

[TradingAccount-sq]

That's not the problem those who know tha username and password they never face seme Gmail OTP. Even they factory reset. On recovery page Google take the password and verify the two step phone number or Recovery phone number that's all they don't send same Gmail OTP.

If I want to reset the password then that's a different matter then they send same Gmail OTP even I verify backup code authenticator code, recovery number or two step number with OTP Then next Google will going to send same Gmail OTP try another way click result couldn't sign you in.


Without that password everything is hopeless because I Reset the device and I don't set up recover email.

If you have any guide steps or solution then please tell me I will appreciate that and I will try it.

[SuraiyaIslam-ro]

I think you didn't understand what I meant in my first comment.

I restarted or forwarded my phone which is why my phone is like new once again. I don't know if you understand what I'm saying. I did something that made my phone look like new for once. I didn't want to do this, but I had to because of a problem with my phone. At that time I didn't remember that I had forgotten my email ID password. And I didn't know that I had set the same email as my recovery email. I did this by mistake. I didn't even realize at the time that doing this would make it work like this. It's natural for people to make mistakes, so what kind of thing is it to belittle people? I admit I forgot, but there must be some way I can fix it, right?

I forgot my email ID password. But I have two-factor enabled on my phone number so I get the code. Since my email ID has the same email as the recovery email ID, I am not receiving that code. That's why I wanted to ask you what I should do.

I don't want to be mean to you.

Google should have a function where setting the same email as the recovery email will not accept it. But there is no such function in Google. So how will we all understand this, we may have a problem in the future. And now Google should remove the same email from the IDs of those who made such mistakes. This is on my mind because many people have been in similar situations.
