Comment on Google Disabling Phone 2 Factor?

  This is different. This is something new google is rolling out. This isn’t SMS and it isn’t TOTP. Google is opting people into push based authentication based solely on them having an android phone associated with their account whether they’re still using that phone or not. Anyone not already using TOTP or WebAuthN should really add those to their accounts before Google decides to “help” you by opting you into their new proprietary 2FA.

    Goddamnit. Between this, the KDE Connect thing, and the Youtube anti-adblocker bullshit, I really need to quit procrastinating and de-Google already.

      Anyone know what the best alternatives to gmail are? I’ve heard mixed things about proton mail and I’m not aware of many others
