I travel. I use phone apps, different phones, internet usb sticks, dsl internet, cybercafes...... but I am constantly dealing with this 'unusual sign-in location detected' nonsense. Currently I am locked out of my main account after checking my email in my bedroom on my phone then going into the living room on my computer, in the country I am currently working in.  I am a freelancer and am currently bidding on a project but now I am locked out. How can I bypass this nonsense? If my account gets hacked by someone and I cannot log in, I will simply let Google know. I don't need them assuming my account is being hacked or something because I cannot control IP address via the various methods and Internet providers I use. I am literally going to loose this freelance job if I cannot log in via my computer within the next few hours. And the password reset option just takes me to help option pages that never gets me directly to the password reset page.

We are all just Gmail users here. Ranting at us about how importantly, and in a hurry you need help is not going to endear you to anyone, especially since you are using a free email service for your all-important freelance work.
If you paid for your Gmail then you would get actual support from Google.

You travel, great. So do millions of other users. Why you are being bothered by these messages is likely because one of your devices has been compromised and your account being accessed from multiple locations simultaneously.
Did you review the activity as per https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/1144110?hl=en

Here is the account recovery URL https://www.google.com/accounts/recovery/

Btw, loose = not tight.
