I've had this problem too.

In terms of security, it's great, but it's terrible when you're going back to old, dormant accounts and have lost trusted devices.

Thankfully, it's not a problem if you've set recovery emails and 2FA options, but it is easy to forget if the accounts are set up for someone else who isn't checking often (like family members who only use their accounts rarely)

It really takes months for the lockout to clear up, and it sucks when it happens.
