I'm with you. I also dislike that I can't even turn this form of 2FA off for my Google account. If I have 2FA enabled, this is required to be one of the methods. The only way to get rid of it is to sign out of my Google account on my phone.

Agree. And worse I sometimes just don’t get the pop ups.

It’s literally the only reason I’m considering dumping the Gmail app. If you use an app password and the standards based mail client like imap or pop, this isn’t forced on you.

Ive also seen an increase in google flagging my accounts for some reason and I have to go and reclaim/verify them using the recovery accounts.
