VULNERABILITY DETAILS
Please provide a brief explanation of the security issue.

VERSION
Chrome Version: [Version 49.0.2623.110 m] + [stable, beta, or dev]
Operating System: [windows 8.1]

REPRODUCTION CASE
https://support.google.com/accounts/troubleshooter/2402620?p=ar_other_problems&hl=en&rd=1#ts=2402552

the password assistance page is so vulnerable that anyone who knows a particular email can get into it.the date of creation and the last login date + the last known password is easy to bypass.i tried it using my email and i was able to reset my password even though i've put in details that were really not even close to the requirements.it didnt even ask me the security question and i just chose the "cant access phone" option for verifying it using my mobile phone number.i hope we can find a much secure way to get their login details as this could lead to lots of emails being hacked.
