I LOST 0.40 BTC BECAUSE OF AN GMAIL ACCOUNT

You maybe logging in on some devices that you thought it's not connected before. That is why it's not asking some 2step question.

That is extremely important. Remember to revoke trust from any devices you trusted before. It could lead to very dangerous situation as could happen here.
Other explaination is just phishing.

Your Google Account Recovery Request
Hello,
Thank you for completing our account recovery form. We understand that not being able to access your account can be frustrating and we want to help you.

At Google, we take the privacy and security of our users' information very seriously. We only reactivate the accounts when we are sure to return them to their real owner. Unfortunately, based on the information provided, we could not verify that you are the owner of the motivation7000@gmail.com account. Therefore, for security reasons, we can not allow you to access them for the moment.

Can you provide us with additional information to verify that you are the owner of the account?

If this is the case, please access the account recovery form and send another request, providing us with as accurate information as possible. If you are not sure of a date, do not worry and just try to give as close an estimate as possible.
If not, and if you want to create an account, go to the registration page.
Since we do not ask a lot of personal information to our users when they create their account, we have very few ways to verify that you are the owner of a given account. For this, we are obliged to ask you specific questions during the recovery procedure. We do not accept ID because it is not a safe enough method. If you would like more information about our policies, please see the article Recovering Your Account in the Help Center.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Regards,
Lily

In this kind of incidents, we need to be more careful into our gmail account.
Most of the time hacker can only able to hack our account once we've been fall into his trap,
and what trap is that? of course the phishing site, were it is his open gate for us to steal our email.

Google will never give you a sort of form request for you to recover something from them and will have a tone of forcing you to give 'close estimation' with your details. I'll guess that the form that was given to you is through a google spreadsheet?

When you attempt to reset your password on a gmail/google account, you will be asked a series of questions, such as when you created the account, the google services associated with the account, the dates you started using the services and the last password you remember.

I have used throwaway gmail accounts to register for what I believed to be shady websites in the past, didn’t use a password manager, and have had to reset my gmail passwords in the past. I suspect they use some kind of regex comparison to your answers, and the accuracy required likely varies depending on how much information you provide and how long ago the registration date is.

Thanks man for warning us, and I am sorry about the loss of your money, you should not have relied on just sms alone, I believe that Gmail has about 3 or 4 security guard system and despite sms, I still use authenticator on my account, and secondly, the only way that the hacker would have seen that your email is because it has probably been used for a cryptocurrency related registration also, maybe campaigns and any other crypto sit, but you should have created a separate email that only you have access to for your wallets.

If you don’t link the mail to any other account, the there is no way that you will lose your account and your money to scammers, also on your wallet too, learn to activate 2fa authenticator factor, it really helps a lot.

If you are advising people to use dinosaur-age email services like yahoo and aol the you gotta be the biggest joker around here. I personally have an ugly experience where i got locked out of yahoomail and i have no clue why upto today.

You should instead be advising people to use 2FA on their Gmails. That is one of the best ways of safe guarding your account.
Sorry for your loss thou.

So, your devices got compromised and you lost access to your mail account.

How is this related to you losing BTC ? Did you store your private keys / mnemonic code via email ? That would be a huge blunder.
Or how could it be related to your mail account ? I assume you didn't use a proper wallet ?

Anyway, you should make sure that your devices are no longer compromised. Somehow an attacker gained access to your passwords and obviously also your device. Make sure to format any drive and reinstall an OS.
I guess you already changed all passwords (from a clean device) ?

GMAIL is not the problem.

Problem was your lack of security measures, if you have registered in any exchanges with your gmail account then you have to have minimum security which is 2FA applications, app is better than sms because sms can be faked if they know your phone number.

Additional advice: do not use the same password as your emails in other pages!

I guess you got here to the point. This could happen if every other mail service. Probably same passwords and not setup all the available security options.

aol and hotmail email services are even worse than yahoo
I lost my password at yahoo mail and wasn't able to recover access no matter what I did
guess they have some weird policies in regards to the countries you open your account with
in any case  , do not blame the game, blame the player - gmail is one of the most secure email services out there if used properly
hope next time you do not repeat your mistakes and and don' make the new ones , like opening an aol email account or something

Funny how so many of these sort of posts never make sense and are never written by people with very good English skills.

1. You actually haven't told us anything.
2. You don't even know your own account info
3. How does a copy-paste of their reply help us to help you?

Why you didnt make any action upon recieving a message from google?  If you do not made an action and disregard that message google will accept the unkown login on your account.
