So actually, resetting an Android phone is super painless nowadays, or at least resetting a Pixel when you have everything in your life in your Google Account. Reinstalling everything takes a while, but it eventually restores like absolutely all of your user data quite cleanly.

Apparently it's a factory reset day.

One glaring omission though is that it does not restore any installed PWAs, which I have (had) a ton of, & I don't remember all of them. *sigh*. I guess as I reinstall them I should make a bookmarks folder of PWAs I want on my phone, for next time.

Oh yeah, so the reason for the factory resetting? I changed my Google password. & it made my phone & watch MADDDDD at me. lol. But I was running the latest OS beta, so I imagine that was a contributing factor to the hiccup. Oh well. I returned to stable public release channel, & everything is nice.
