    I’d be worried about losing access to the entirety of your passwords if Google up and decides that one day your account is suspended. There’s been a few reports historically where someone gets their Gmail account suspended for some mistaken reason and all their associated access gets pulled (e.g. from drive, sheets, etc)

        Hopefully you were of legal age to accept the Terms of Service, otherwise it might’ve been an irregular account all this time.

            If it was, and you haven’t accepted the ToS as of legal age, then you might want to make a new one.

            Google is getting ready to purge inactive accounts starting next year, and it wouldn’t be the first time when a service purged irregular accounts many years after the fact, so… better safe than sorry.
