Which advantages does Advanced Protection give you in particular so that you have enabled it? It seems that things like hardware 2fA should work without it as well? Genuinely curious.
- ufmace 6y agoI am on it and like it. It seems to explicitly forbid a bunch of edge cases in the login auth that would otherwise be tricky to configure properly and keep up to date. Yes, you can set up and use hardware key auth without it, but it's nice to guarantee that you can never login without a hardware key no matter what. IIRC it closes off a few other types of misconfiguration or over-authorization that might allow someone to exfiltrate data from your account.
- sneak 6y agoIt forbids 2FA with anything other than U2F hardware, which is practically unphishable. I don't really trust the Google auth system without the hard "disallow all non-hardware-based auth" restriction, due to the innumerable stories about sim swapping, et c.
- est31 6y agoFair point! Didn't know there was no other way of enabling this.
