      So, i did an oopsie quite a while ago.
      i scheduled my old Opera account for deletion and removed the 2fa off my phone after.

      a few days later, i decided to go back to Opera GX (switched back to Chrome for compatibility, but quickly realized i was missing some of the features Opera GX has like the GX Corner, so i went back again).

      So i logged into the my old account, completely forgetting i had 2fa enabled on there, but i don't have the 2fa anymore, neither do i have the backup codes (sh*t).
      So the scheduled removal got canceled because of me trying to login, so i had to make another account using a newly created google account just for the new Opera account.

      Is it possible to get someone from Opera Support or something to look into this for me?
      I wanna change the e-mail thats associated with the Opera account i made this post with to the e-mail that my old account has (which uses my main e-mail).

      I wanna remove that google account since it's not needed, but can't because of my new Opera account (the account i used to post this) being linked to it.

      the old account has nothing of value as everything is on this account now.

          @xlads Nope, never been able to.

          which is annoying, because i have a second google account literally just for this Opera account and nothing else.
          (instead of using my main e-mail, which is can't do because of my old account still being there.)

            @djbasaa lets get in contact.
            I am planning to take legal actions against this. It violates GDPR.
