| Oct 3, 2017 at 20:04 | comment | added | drakorg | The scenario refers to "After" confirming the deletion process and "Before" the phone has been yet contacted (because it was offline). Otherwise the question "Would a password change at this stage interfere with google's ability to contact the phone before it had a chance to receive the deletion trigger?" would make no sense, since the phone had already been contacted. Thanks for sharing your experience anyways. | |

My second answer is the reply to your question in Point 2 you changed the google password "after" confirming the deletion process? Would a password change at this stage interfere with google's ability to contact the phone before it had a chance to receive the deletion trigger?

If you give it another order, it may very well replace the pending order with the new one (or not). It doesn't say anything, anywhere, about which one google honors first. Your second answer, regarding the password change, has also nothing to do with what I asked. I'm asking if a password change before the phone is actually contacted/erased would interfere in google's ability to contact it/delete it afterwards. | |
