Or just store the account PIN outside the affected service.

I have been a paying GAFYD user for ~ two years and wasn't even aware there was an 'account PIN'! I fear for most people this simple solution may come with the benefit of hindsight.

Well, this is not very reassuring: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=6...

Nope, no "PIN" for me under "Support". Worse,

> "Please note that for your security, your Customer PIN will be updated periodically.

So even if I find it now and write it down, there's a chance that I still won't be able to access support at some point down the road if/when I need it.

Only paid accounts and government/education accounts have a "customer PIN", apparently.

I didn't know about the account PIN either. Here's how to find yours: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=6...
