Can't you create an "application password" for IMAP?
- kgwxd 6y agoThat requires two-factor auth, which requires giving them a phone number.
- Spivak 6y agoYou can't set up TOTP without giving Google a phone number?
- aasasd 6y agoI'm not sure if Google allows using phone notifications first (another 2fa method) and then switching to TOTP, but TOTP isn't allowed as the first choice.
- trazire 6y agoThey support using phone numbers and then switching to TOTP and deleting the phone number.
- aasasd 6y agoSo how does this avoid giving the number to Google?
- 0xdeadb00f 6y agoIt doesn't. I think they were just confirming this: > I'm not sure if Google allows using phone notifications first (another 2fa method) and then switching to TOTP...
- chipsa 6y agoCan you setup google voice?
- nikisweeting 6y agoCan you use a Twilio number for $1/mo or some other burner service?
- 211CE189 6y agoTwilio numbers, and most other VOIP numbers, cannot receive the short code text messages that Google uses for verification.
- nikisweeting 6y agoYou're right, I forgot that it doesn't work the other way around (my Google Voice number definitely can receive shortcodes though).
