I dropped my phone in the pond at work on Tuesday. That had all my log-in information. Reactivated an old phone and finally got around to checking in. Apparently there is a time limit and I cannot check in for the previous two days. My penance will be to use this 8year old phone until August and buy a new one then. Less purchases=less packaging=less waste. I was trying not to upgrade until 2020. Won't make it.
