There was one time I was traveling and had to reset one of my passwords. It sent a verification code via email but my email provider wouldn’t let me login because I was in a different country I’ve never been to before. So it was a train of recovery processes to reser my password on a single account.

Run a VPN server at home, any decent router should be able to run one. Then you can be anywhere in the world and every site will still think you are at home.
