Hope this isn't a repeated submission. Funny how they're trying to deflect blame after they tried to change the EULA post breach.

I'm cool with 2fa, I'm not cool with a company demanding my cellphone number to send me SMS for 2fa or to be forced to get a 2fa code via email...like my bank. I can ONLY link 2fa to my phone. So when my phone goes missing or stolen, I can't access my bank. Only time I have resisted 2fa is when this pooly implemented bullshit happens.

Pro tip, when making a new Google account and putting your phone number in be sure to look into more options. There is a choice to only use it for 2fa and not for data linking.
