Bypass 2-step to access your account but they can't change your Google password.

  I responded to a comment about, "what is your plan for continuing to use your account if your phone is stolen?" Did you downvote and responded to a thread incorrectly?

      That requires you entering your password which shouldn't be left in plaintext on your device.

        Yes, but many people leave their gmail accounts logged in. That's enough to access and disable 2factor on a laptop/desktop. Also, what's with the downvotes?

          Even if you are logged into your Gmail account, Google still requires you to enter your password to disable 2-step auth.

    I didn't downvote. My reply was to "other trusted devices can bypass 2factor" about yes they can access the account but they can't change the password without knowing the current password. (Accidentally deleted a comment of mine, this attempts to copy it)
