Can you create one that doesn't forward to your phone? Could a US friend create one for you in a new account and hand that account over to you?

It's more about sinking that second factor somewhere that can't be redirected and only you can theoretically access by logging into Google Voice. You don't have to forward the messages to your actual phone.

I think each Google Voice number needs a real US phone number, where calls/texts sent to GV Number will be forwarded to.

> print your recovery code and store it in a safe location, and that you set up at least two security keys or authenticator devices. Should you lose access to all two-step verification devic

but this can be configured to not forward the text/voicemail.
