It's a terrible recovery method, I'm going through this right now (well, this is my 3rd attempt at it at least). Sorry you're going through the same thing :\
The most bizarre thing is that I have access to the account through both my phone and my tablet (mind you through apps), but I can't for the life of me get it to work on my desktop! this is ridiculous!
More on reddit.comIs there anyone to speak to about Google Account Recovery?
The only account recovery option Google provides starts at https://accounts.google.com/signin/recovery (an account can not be recovered by posting here or contacting Google). Submitting more accurate answers and using a known computer/IP-address will help. This post provides an overview of how account recovery works (you NEED to read this) https://support.google.com/accounts/thread/2307038 and this article provides many more details on the process (you SHOULD read this) http://gmailaccountrecovery.blogspot.com/
But if you can’t correctly answer enough of the questions to prove ownership of the account Google will not give it to you.
Unfortunately, Google does not generally offer live support for the free Gmail product. Gmail support options: https://productforums.google.com/d/topic/gmail/3yHKaf8_xGo/discussion Note: any sites/numbers you find doing a search for Gmail support are not owned or affiliated with Google.
But even for Google products that do provide live support, they do not do account recovery over the phone. One must use the provided process.
