to be more precise, it is just replacing the step where instead of entering a 2FA code from your (registered) phone no., it is you who has to send google a text. had this happen several months ago already when trying to log into my google account (at their local hq!). it is a damn shame that they are happy to use special, 5-6 digit numbers, to send this message. it might incur additional charges, and may not even go through if traveling. from this and asking to "verify" my age when the google account itself is 20 years old for antigravity, it has been horrible using their accounts.
