Great question, and I want to make sure you get the right answer here.

G2 cannot reset your Google account password. Google sign-in (SSO) means that G2 uses Google as your identity provider — G2 never holds your Google password, so it has no ability to change or reset it. If your Google credentials aren't working, that needs to be resolved directly with Google.

Here's how to think about what's actually going wrong:

Two possible scenarios

Scenario A: Your Google account itself has a sign-in problem

• You can't sign in to Google at all (wrong password, account locked, 2FA issue, etc.)
• Fix: Go to Google's account recovery flow (accounts.google.com) and resolve it there. Once Google sign-in works, retry G2.

Scenario B: Your Google account is fine, but G2 is rejecting the login

• You can sign in to Google normally, but when you click "Sign in with Google" on G2, something goes wrong (error message, redirect loop, "account not found," etc.)
• Fix: This is something G2 support can help with. I'd need to look up your account.

Which scenario fits you?

Can you tell me:

1. Are you able to sign in to your Google account normally (e.g., Gmail works fine)?
2. What happens when you try to sign in to G2 with Google — do you get an error message, and if so, what does it say?

Once I know which scenario applies, I can either point you to the right Google recovery path or look up your G2 account and help you from there.

That's a perfectly reasonable starting point — here's the clearest path forward:

Step 1: Verify your Google account first (do this now)

Open a browser and go to gmail.com or accounts.google.com and try signing in. This tells you immediately which scenario you're in:

• If Google sign-in fails → you need to recover your Google account through Google's own account recovery process before anything else. G2 login will be blocked until Google access is restored.
• If Google sign-in works → come back here and try the G2 login again. Note the exact error message you see on G2's side, and I can look into your account from there.

Why this step matters

Since G2 uses Google as your identity provider, G2's login flow depends entirely on Google confirming your identity first. If Google can't authenticate you, G2 never gets the signal it needs — so there's nothing G2 can do on its end until Google access is working.

If Google works but G2 still fails

Come back and share:

• The email address on your G2 account (so I can look it up)
• The error message or behavior you see on G2 (e.g., "account not found," a redirect loop, a specific error code)

That will let me check your G2 account status directly and figure out if there's something on G2's side to fix.

Take that Google check first — it's the quickest way to narrow down where the problem actually lives.

Yes, exactly — that's the right plan. Here's a quick summary of what to do:

1. Restore your Google account access using Google's own account recovery process (accounts.google.com).
2. Once Google sign-in is working, return to G2 and click "Sign in with Google." In most cases, if Google authenticates you successfully, G2 will log you straight in — no additional steps needed on G2's side.
3. If G2 still fails after Google access is restored, come back to support with:
   • The email address on your G2 account
   • The exact error message you see on G2

At that point I can look up your account and investigate whether there's a G2-side issue (such as an account status problem or an email mismatch) that needs to be resolved.

Good luck with the Google recovery — that's the right first move, and the G2 login should follow naturally once it's sorted.

Yes, a few things worth watching for during the retry:

Things to note if G2 login still fails

1. The exact error message — wording matters. Phrases like "account not found," "email not recognized," "access denied," or an error code all point to different root causes on G2's side.

2. Which email Google is signing you in with — if you have multiple Google accounts, make sure the one Google selects during the SSO flow is the same email address you originally used to register on G2. A mismatch here is a common cause of "account not found" errors even when Google itself is working fine.

3. Whether the failure happens immediately or after a redirect — an instant rejection usually means an account/email mismatch; a redirect loop or blank page often suggests a session or browser issue.

Quick things to try if it still fails

• Clear your browser cookies and cache before retrying, or try in a private/incognito window — stale session data can interfere with SSO flows.
• Make sure you're on the correct G2 sign-in page and selecting "Sign in with Google" rather than trying to enter a password (since your account is Google-linked, the password path won't work).

If after all that G2 still won't let you in, come back with your G2 account email address and the error details, and I'll look into the account directly from here.

You're all set — you've got a clear plan:

1. Restore Google account access via Google's own recovery process.
2. Retry "Sign in with Google" on G2, noting which Google account is selected and the exact error message if it fails.
3. Come back to G2 support with those details if the problem persists, and I can look up your account directly.

Good luck with the recovery — and don't hesitate to reach out once you've had a chance to retry G2. Happy to dig into the account specifics at that point.

I'd be happy to help you check the status of your category change request. To pull up the right record, I'll need to verify your identity first.

Could you please provide:

1. Your work email address (the one associated with your vendor account), and
2. The request ID for the category change — or if you don't have it handy, the product name so I can look it up.

Let me look up your vendor account and the category request simultaneously.

Thanks, Noah — I've confirmed your identity and pulled up the request. Here's what I can share:

Category Change Request — cat_001

| Field | Detail | |---|---| | Product | prod_002 (Support Loop) | | Current Category | Customer Support | | Requested Category | Help Desk | | Status | ✅ Pending Review | | Submitted | June 29, 2026 | | Decision Date | Not yet set |

What this means: The request has been submitted and is currently sitting in the category review queue. It is not blocked, there is no rejection reason on file, and no additional evidence has been flagged as required at this time.

For internal timing: There is no guaranteed SLA I can confirm for category review decisions, so I'd recommend communicating internally that the request is in queue and under review, with no action needed on your end unless the team reaches out for more information.

What to watch for:

• If the review team needs supporting evidence (e.g., documentation that the product fits the "Help Desk" category), they will reach out through your vendor account.
• Once a decision is made, you'll see the status update to either approved or rejected, along with a reason if it's the latter.

Is there anything else you'd like to know about this request, or anything else I can help with?

Yes, that's exactly right — the next step is owned by the G2 category review team. Your side is passive at this point: you only need to act if they reach out requesting supporting evidence (such as documentation or examples that demonstrate your product fits the "Help Desk" category). No proactive action is needed from you in the meantime.

On typical review windows: I don't have a guaranteed SLA to share, and I want to be straightforward about that rather than quote a number I can't stand behind. Category review timelines can vary depending on queue volume and the complexity of the category distinction being evaluated. What I can say is:

• Your request has been in queue since June 29, 2026 — roughly 3+ months as of today.
• If you feel the timeline has been unusually long, that's a reasonable concern to raise, and I can open a vendor support case to flag it for the category review team and request a status update on your behalf.

My recommendation: If you need something concrete to communicate internally, I'd frame it as: "The request is with G2's category review team. No action is needed on our end unless they request evidence. We've asked for a timeline and are awaiting a response."

Would you like me to open a case to formally request a timeline update from the category review team? Or is the current status sufficient for your internal purposes?

That matches exactly what I'm seeing on our end — cat_001 is still in pending status with no updates since submission on June 29, 2026, and no rejection reason or evidence request recorded.

Given that it's been over 3 months with no movement, you have two reasonable options:

1. Open a vendor support case — I can flag this to the category review team on your behalf to request a status update or timeline estimate. This creates a formal internal record and prompts the team to look at the request.

2. Continue waiting — If there's no internal urgency, the request remains valid and in queue. No action on your end risks it being dropped.

Would you like me to go ahead and open a case to nudge the category review team for an update on cat_001?

I'd be happy to look into that for you. Before I share any account-specific details, I need to verify your identity first.

Could you please provide me with one of the following:

• Your full name
• Your email address associated with your G2 account

Let me look up the buyer account for Jordan Lee.

I found your account. Now let me pull up the details on review review_014.

Here's what I found for your review:

• Review ID: review_014
• Product: prod_001
• Status: Rejected
• Rejection Date: June 18, 2026
• Rejection Reason: Unable to verify reviewer employment.

This means G2's moderation team was not able to confirm your current or past employment at the company associated with the product you reviewed. G2 requires reviewers to have a verifiable connection to the product they're reviewing.

What you can do next:

If you believe this rejection was made in error, you can dispute it. To do so, I can open a moderation dispute case on your behalf — but I'd want to make sure you're prepared with any supporting evidence (e.g., a work email address, LinkedIn profile, or other documentation showing your employment connection to the product).

Would you like me to open a dispute case, or do you have any questions about the rejection reason first?

Understood — I'll explain what the dispute case would look like before taking any action.

Proposed Dispute Case — Review Moderation Rejection

• Review ID: review_014
• Rejection Reason on Record: Unable to verify reviewer employment.
• Your Account: Jordan Lee (jordan.lee@example.com)

What the case would do: I would open a moderation dispute case on your behalf, flagging that your LinkedIn profile is now verified and requesting that the moderation team re-examine the employment verification that led to the rejection. The team would review your reviewer credentials and determine whether the rejection should be overturned and the review reinstated for publication.

What to expect:

• The dispute would be routed to G2's moderation team for a manual review.
• I cannot guarantee a reversal — the team makes the final call based on the evidence available.
• You should watch your email (jordan.lee@example.com) for any updates or follow-up requests from the moderation team.

If you'd like to proceed, just say the word and I'll open the case. Otherwise, let me know if you have any questions first.

The dispute case has been opened. Here's a summary:

• Case ID: case_rev_001_review_moderation
• Subject: Moderation Dispute – Review review_014 Rejected for Unverifiable Employment
• Status: Open
• SLA: 3 business days (due by July 2, 2026)

What happens next: The moderation team will review your case, taking into account that your LinkedIn profile is now verified. Keep an eye on your email at jordan.lee@example.com for any updates or requests for additional information from the team. If they need further documentation to confirm your employment, they'll reach out through that channel.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

Great questions — let me clarify both points honestly.

What the 3-business-day SLA means: The SLA of 3 business days (due by July 2, 2026) is the target time for the moderation team to first respond to or act on your case — it is not necessarily a guarantee of a final decision by that date. Depending on the complexity of the employment verification review, the team may need additional time or may reach out to you for more documentation before closing the case.

If it goes past July 2: If you haven't received any response or update by July 2, that would be a valid basis to escalate. At that point, you could contact G2 support again and reference your case ID — case_rev_001_review_moderation — to request a priority follow-up. A support agent can then flag the case as past-SLA and push it up the queue.

What I'd recommend:

• Watch your inbox at jordan.lee@example.com closely between now and July 2.
• If July 2 passes with no update, reach back out to support with your case ID and note that the SLA has elapsed — that's the clearest signal for escalation.

Is there anything else I can help you with?
