No enhanced security, I travel a lot abroad with different phones and can't handle SMS or some type of authenticator reliably.
I completely get it being flagged, I even wrote ML/DL-based anomaly detector for mobile stuff myself, but it really gets in the way, so I switched my primary account over to ProtonMail.
- shadowgovt 7y agoI hear that. :) I had the opposite problem not too long ago; was away for a relative's wedding and had my phone die during the trip. Even after replacing the phone, getting back into my Google account on the new phone was a chore, because the phone that died was all my trusted devices (2FA key holder and receiver of phone calls for verification at the same time). Oops. :-p
- bitL 7y agoYeah, it feels like walking on eggshells these days wrt security... Either paranoid, or locked out.
