EDIT: You know, after some time to cool off, Google Authenticator 2FA can still be enabled and isn't being phased out like the less secure SMS 2FA, so it's really not the end of the world here. The chance of permanent lockout is avoided, even if the whole Google Prompt system is still wack.

I can swear google gives you 10 otps to print out when enabling 2fa as well. Also if using totp, backing up your seed would also be an option

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

Outside of a private server, I've been using Yahoo Mail for like 23 years tbh
