What device does it say it's sending the request to?
doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 11 months ago
A device. The fact that any device is getting a google prompt and it cannot be disabled is the issue.

Right. I think you can see where I'm going with this. The fact that you're being dodgy with the question is making me question your motives with this post.
So, what device? You don't have to tell me the name, but describe it to me. Is it the device that you flashed a new OS onto?

It’s not constructive to answer your question instead of explain the situation to you for the 8th time. There is only one device and it was wiped and can never be recovered, not even by restoring the OS, but the Google Prompt is still the default option forever now. I found this mildly infuriating.
The best solution is to use something like Google Auth since only the SMS is being phased out. Do you understand now or de we need to repeat this again and again?
