- 38 2y agoyeah gross. I just finished moving everything off Gmail because they are forcing MFA
- pachouli-please 2y agoyou moved off gmail due to forced mfa of all things? interesting... also, aren't 'app passwords' or whatever they call it still a thing?
- 38 2y agoyes I don't like security decisions forced upon me, that's reasonable. if I want a throwaway email, I don't need MFA because I don't care if the account is compromised. but I don't get to make that decision because Google decided for me that my account will have forced MFA
- shpingbing 2y agoI imagine it's because they would be (legally) responsible for any malicious usage of your account.
- fauigerzigerk 2y ago>if I want a throwaway email, I don't need MFA because I don't care if the account is compromised. But Google cares if their servers are used to send spam or worse, because it makes their email service less useful for other users who may not use it as a throwaway account.
- sebmellen 2y agoThey won’t allow you to use regular TOTP alone. You always have to link a phone, even for Google Workspace. It sucks!
- artooro 2y agoThis is not true. In some organizations I work with they only allow Security Keys on Google Workspace, you can't even use TOTP. It's possible to disable SMS and Phone verification, but if you allow TOTP then Google Prompt is also automatically allowed.
- fauigerzigerk 2y agoNeither my Google Workspace account nor my personal Gmail account has a phone number.
