Continuation of dancing from Google Drive

Question

Google

Good time of day, dear Habra Society.
In less than a couple of months, we managed to eliminate the consequences of the problem with emptying the trashin Google Drive as a new misfortune fell. Google, for reasons unknown to me, demanded to change the password on the google account. I changed the password, read the mail and thought everything would end here. But no. The local client for google drive, for obvious reasons, refused to work. Moreover, he simply did not offer to enter the login data again. Well, I think I'll go out and log in with a new password and everything will be fine. How to get out? I looked inside the Konto trennen acre and found nothing. Pressed. And this is where the fun began. When specifying an old local folder with already synchronized files, Google Drive began to create new folders by adding "(1)" to the name and re-merging the content from above and filling it up from those folders that were previously. And given the volume of more than 20 gigs, this did not please me. And all this just because of the password change.
Is there anyone from the Google team here? Why couldn't you just ask for the login password again? What the hell is all this bullshit? Why is an account with the same username as before now treated as a new account?
What kind of bad people sit and come up with such dances for, mind you, paying users. Is it really hard to guess that if the username has not changed, then this is the same user. What if the folder has the same name and all files have the same checksums then it is the same folder and files. Etc. I have not been so angry for a long time ...
And remembering the dances with a basket (see link above), a desire is brewing to find them and knock them on the head well.
I am indignant, oh, how I am indignant ...
Sorry for the emotions, it hurt.

ahem, after writing this post I came across this article "Google has declared war on passwords" . Looks like it's not limited to passwords.
