I registered with a gmail account that I already had. Now when I go to admin.google.com, it says

"Sign in with an administrator account To sign in to admin.google.com, use an administrator account for a managed Google service, such as Google Workspace or Cloud Identity. "

From there it lets me select the account I want to use, then I log into the selected account, and then it sends me back to that screen that says choose account. What do I do?? TIA!

Every time I try to login with my email the page stays on the login in page for administrator. I need he'll in logging into admin console so I could recover permanently deleted emails from gmail. Thanks.

EDIT: I ended up having Google delete the account. Took about five days but was pretty seamless. Once complete I was able to sign back up.

Yes, I will reach out to Google Workspace support, but was curious if anyone ever encountered this.

I signed up for Google Workspace using an Outlook.com email account. When logging into Google Workspace I go through the login prompts but keep getting a message about signing in with an Admin account. See attached screenshot.

I have received an email saying to activate the account and am also now receiving Admin Best Practice emails, so I believe the Admin account has been setup somewhat. When logging in I do NOT get any kind of activation prompt, this is as far as I can get.

Tried different browsers, Incognito Mode, etc.

Any ideas here?

Hi gang,

So I have generic emails for our non profit, with email delegation set up in gmail to give access to who I want.

I needed to remove one account so I tried to log into my generic email account... but google won't let me :

Google couldn’t verify this account belongs to you. Try again later or use Account Recovery for help. If you still can’t sign in to your account, contact your organization’s admin for help. Your admin may need to temporarily update login challenge settings.

Two Factor ain't enabled, I tried resetting the password twice in the admin console but I still get the same message.

What can I do ?

Hi all,

I manage several GSuite domains for some small businesses. As part of handling their computing and IT needs, I very frequently need to setup PCs and troubleshoot issues. When I commission a new PC for someone, they want the thing 100% ready to go, and I generally need to log into their Google Account for them.

Is there a way to skip the Google verification steps where it sends a text to the user's phone or has them enter digits? This requires them to be present when I'm doing this and they usually aren't. I realize this is a security feature but at a minimum, it should allow an Admin to bypass this by logging in as an Admin or by disabling verification temporarily while "maintenance" is going on.

This isn't 2FA.

Any ideas?
