Comment on Google Disabling Phone 2 Factor?
doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 11 months agoIt’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?

So, when you said "The device has never existed", you realize how that was a bit misleading, right?
The device existed. You ignored the warnings and wiped the device before transferring your authentication elsewhere. There's plenty of things to be critical of Google over, but flagrant user error like this isn't one of them.

There were no warnings, the device was not set up for 2FA, it’s just shitty design!

Clearly, it was.
