why is it I am being forced to add another security account to my email when I already have...

Hi there!

I recommend getting in contact with
customer support so they can verify your account and go over that information with you. It should not be forcing you to add another email for security/verification purposes if you already have one. Those messages or notifications are meant as something
as optional since it is a good idea to have at least two options on your account (ex. email and phone number).

I hope this helps.

so in other word give us all your information or you can't use the service. got it thanks

thats why I already have my alternate account on the email, its is now asking me for a second email on top of that.

Because its a good way to recover your current account in case that you forgot your password or you're unable to login in, that demonstrate that you're the owner of that account

I forgot to add one more thing. When I try to log in, after entering the gmail and password, a window pops up and says the following:

Help us protect your account

Passwords can be forgotten or stolen. Just in case, add security info now to help you get back into your account if something goes wrong. We won't use this info to spam you—just to keep your account more secure.

What security info would you like to add?

and then I'm forced to add another email account or phone number. Afterwards, a verification code is sent to my email or phone (I have tried both ways), after typing in the code, the error message, like I mentioned in the previous thread, just keeps showing up.
