I'm trying to push adoption of 1Password in my workplace, and one of the things that drives me crazy about Google's sign-in process is that they obfuscate the 2FA functionality behind two confusingly-named links.
First they present 2FA via the Google Mobile app, and you have to click "Try another way", which makes it feel like something has already gone wrong.
Then they give you the option to the Google App again, to get an SMS message, to use a backup code, or to use "Google Authenticator".
So my instructions to a would-be 1Password user are: Sign in with your email address and password, click "Try another way", and then click "Use Google Authenticator", but don't actually use Google Authenticator; use 1Password.
