Dumb me. I spent an hour diagnosing my internet connection, unplugging cables, and enabling WiFi, only to find out that an app called "Internet Off" was blocking the internet. I uninstalled it immediately.

Quick Tip: Don’t want people getting pinged when you post or reply?

You can turn that off by heading to: Settings → Privacy and Security → Allow others to be notified of your posts and toggling it off.

Google now lets you set up Recovery Contacts for your account. Add someone who you trust as a recovery contact. If you lose access to your Google Account, you can reach out to your recovery contact directly with a code that lets them confirm it’s really you.

Recovery Contacts: Sign in with a little help from your friends and family

An overview of Recovery Contacts, so friends and family can verify your identity if you lose access to your Google account.
