Question

Give one real-life example of Deadlock in Computers

Answer 1

I created a new Google password and had to input it to get access to Google services on my laptop and phone. My phone is the trusted device that Google uses to ask me whether it is me trying to recover my account. When I input the password on my laptop, my phone asks "Are you trying to log in?", I click Yes and everything goes smoothly. When I log in using my phone, I see "Are you trying to log in?", but since I am currently logged out on my phone and logged in on my PC, I do not see the Yes button on my phone and cannot confirm that it is me trying to log in on my phone.

That's an example of deadlock.
