Good idea, but when I try to reset the password, it asks me for the last password I remember https://i.imgur.com/vedOeJG.png and then I am brought back to the same page https://i.imgur.com/JAXxcvl.png ... (I tried my current password and the last two before that).


Try a different machine and a different internet connection. Maybe your phone - just a nice normal everyone-has-one machine - if you're on an anonymous or strange version of Linux, or using a VPN, or datacenter internet connection etc, they might be blocking you automatically.

I'm not saying that's good behaviour on their part but it looks that way.


Well, that's not good. It's frustrating that there isn't a customer support division that you can talk to either, at least for escalated issues like the ones we face.


yeah not good... and the only reason I started to save my previous passwords is because of Google. It is the only company that I know of that uses obsolete data to verify that you are the account holder.
