What about downloaded back up codes ? Phone push approval? U2f key? Authenticator app? Can't imagine complaining about being shut out if you didn't have at least one or all of these set up. Google even nags you about setting these up.
- Dylan16807 5y agoWhy can't you imagine that? This gatekeeping you're doing is rude and doesn't make sense. 2FA's very purpose is to increase shut outs when enabled.
- smileybarry 5y agoIt might be 2FA's very purpose, but I've found that a 2FA-less account is a lot more distrusting of logins. Some of my relatives don't have 2FA set up and they got more "verify it's really you" prompts compared to my personal MFA'd account.
- Dylan16807 5y agoBecause Google is abusing the concept.
