User claims Google locked down a 17-year-old account after a bizarre account change

• A Google One subscriber with a personal account shares the headache he’s been dealing with for the past several weeks, with many features seemingly disabled across his account.
• The user believes that Google has incorrectly marked his personal account as a managed account, locking him out of important settings.
• So far, attempts to resolve the account issue with Google support have not yielded any solution after almost a month of communication.

For many of us, losing access to our Google account sounds like just about one of the worst things we can imagine. Whether by way of getting hacked or seriously violating Google’s terms of service, that could mean losing years of emails, photos, and a whole lot more. And while that’s probably still nightmare #1, we’ve now got a new fear unlocked, as one Google user shares the incredibly frustrating tale in which he claims to have lost control over a lot of what his account is supposed to be able to do.
