Even when paying, Google scares me a bit for anything important. Just last night I switched ISPs, and Google seems to have re-enabled 2FA via God-knows-what Android device and doesn't have a way to disable it (even after logging back in through a network where they trust me more). It's the kick in the pants I needed to finally de-Google.
- mark_l_watson 3y agoYou make a good point. Even being careful to always have a printout Google's onetime login codes, we hear enough stories of people being locked out of their accounts. I do a few things to mitigate this possibility: 1. about 3 times a year I do a Google Takeout data dump. 2. I forward my Gmail (which I don't use much) to my main email. 3. I love YouTube Music, especially music with videos, but I have purchased the MP3s for my 200 favorite songs and I will always have those. 4. If YouTube 'went away' both my wife and I would be very unhappy, but we would get back a lot of free time.
