You risk losing your entire Google account along with all documents, photos, mail, and whatever else you have there. Enough stories of this happening if you look around.
If you're just a normal user the risk is very low. This almost always happens when someone using Google APIs for business purposes trips a fraud or spam detector.
> Also are you really using same account for gmail, your personal pictures/docs and youtube?
Most people use "sign in with Google" and tie their Google account to services well beyond the Google ecosystem, just to avoid creating a new entry in their password manager (lol). You think people are making new Google accounts for each Google service? That's hard for me to believe.

The risk always exist.

you risk that regardless, which is why I don't rely on them at all
