A few days ago, I created a Google account for learning purposes on GCP. Yesterday, during the authentication process, I encountered this page:
Verify your identity Page
I tried every phone number that I have access to, but all of them returned the same error: “This phone number cannot be used for verification.”
According to Google’s support page Verify your account Page the problem is:
“This phone number has been used too many times for verification. If you find this error message, you have to use a different number. To protect you from abuse, we limit the number of times a phone number can be used for verification. You can use a family member’s or friend’s phone number instead.”
During my search, I found that to troubleshoot this problem, it may help to delete the browser cookies and try again after 24 hours or try from incognito mode.
What did you try and what were you expecting?
I tried the following:
1. Using different phone numbers that I have access to.
2. Clearing browser cookies and trying again after 24 hours.
3. Using incognito mode to attempt the verification process.
I was expecting at least one of these steps to successfully verify my identity and allow me to proceed with the authentication process on GCP. However, all my attempts resulted in the same error message: “This phone number cannot be used for verification.”
Can anyone suggest additional steps or confirm if there is a more effective solution to this problem?
Thank you!
