Gmail Recovery & Security Hardening

I was recently locked out of my Gmail account after Google flagged suspicious activity. Every time I attempt the standard recovery flow it loops me back to the warning screen.

I need a seasoned IT support professional who can:
• Walk me through an effective, step-by-step recovery path that actually bypasses the current loop and restores full access.
• Verify the integrity of recent activity once I’m back in—spot any forwarding rules, filters, or third-party app connections an intruder may have planted.
• Help me implement stronger defenses right away: fresh passwords, updated recovery options, two-factor authentication, and other Google-recommended security tweaks.

Your guidance can be delivered live (screen-sharing or voice), followed by written instructions so I have something to reference later. I’m ready to begin as soon as you are and will respond quickly to schedule a session.
