I did have a Google Accounts History about 3 months ago.

I keep a password text file and it has an entry for Google. It's about 4 month old but it does not
work and Google does not recognize the email address I used.

I possibly removed , but quarantined , the cookie Google might have used to know me.

That's what I've got to work with.

I could start over. But it's a challenge to try to recover what worked just a while back.

I'm not familiar with which cookie it might have been nor if I really even still
have it from a Malwarebytes scan and quarantine.

Any expert suggestions?

Thanks

Andre

I'm guessing he means Google Accounts Web History:
http://www.google.com/psearch

Here's Google's help on Web History:

It's pretty cool. Google saves where you've been if you choose it. You must log in to your account.

That account , I think, is free. It helps you find things you know you saw on google but have
lost due to late nights and lack of keeping records.

Google goofed up. I used my email address to sign in but Google said it did not recognize me.

Finally out of frustration and trying the 5 adddress I have I signed up for a new account. Guess what.
Google says I have an account in that email address and I had only to click 'reset password'.

I did that and Goog says they sent me an email. When I check I expect to see a new password.

That's the way it's done.

Why would you want anyone to keep your records of where you have been goign to?

Not me , not a good idea, they can track you to sell off information about you so people can sell you stuff...
