Last week I traveled home and Google did not let me login to my account because they were somehow 'suspicious' it was not me using my password (same machine). They wanted to force me to provide my phone number, even though I never asked for 2FA. Not truly a dark pattern, but shady anyway, expecting nothing less from a prism company. ot. I guess you are downvoted because the element of truth in your comment (e.g. 2FA is data collection) hit some nerve. Just yesterday a similar 'questioning 2FA panacea' comment was downvoted, even though it was just arguing about the security aspects.
