Wait a few days. It may be possible at a later date.
I'm not storing cookies when using GMail and at a time I regularly got those suspicious login type messages when the browser updated to a new version. At one point I had to click a link in the recovery email and enter the month when the account was created. Pretty much guessed several times until nothing worked. Tried again a day or a few later and got in again.

- unsafecast 4y agoThe account was created a few minutes ago. My guess is that they did that to reply to OP, hence the username. Still funny though.
- cycomanic 4y ago> At one point I had to click a link in the recovery email and enter the month when the account was created. Seriously?! Who comes up with these security questions? This is such a useless question, on the one hand it's insecure because it is a 1/12 chance of guessing right, but also who remembers what month they created an email account? I would venture a guess most people here couldn't even get the year right (I certainly couldn't). Seems the question is only useful to lock out the legitimate owner.

IIRC, they require both month and year, so there'd be a bit more guesswork involved. I added the exact creation date for all my Google accounts to my password manager when I learned about this verification method.
- Izkata 4y agoOuch... I just checked mine, and I was right about the month but off by 3 years.
