Gmail account help [View all]

When I shutdown last night, all was good. When I booted up today, I was logged out of everything except Yahoo.

Gmail took me through screen after screen of security measures, then decided to create an account based on a backup email address and I cannot login to my old Gmail account and access my life, even though it tells me I am logged in. I have no idea what to do. Several of my financial accounts are on there, information I need to pay bills. I mean What Happened? What do I do now?

UPDATE: Finally signed into original account. i think someone is dicking with Google ... now there is a second account with all my personal info ... I need to delete that and change all passwords. THis is so sick.

UPDATE Day 2: Still wrangling with Google. Don't know why all my active logins and site info was deleted 2 nights ago. As if I had deleted all cookies and offline data and then some.
