I understand why they're doing this but if I was okay with Google being able to lock me out of my password manager then I would simply be using Google's password manager already

@gord Thank you.

The problem is some form of 2FA does seem like a good idea. I wonder if there's a way to get some of the benefits without adding hard gmail failure points.

@gord I am considering suggesting as a third option offering a "reverse 2FA" option:

• You attempt to log in

• A 2FA email is sent

• If the email results in "approve", you are let in

• If the email does not result in "disapprove" within 24-48 hours, you are let in anyway

This could help with catastrophe scenarios while creating only limited risk of a Problem

@mcc @gord I am concerned about a scenario: email doesn’t get a reply because I don’t notice it. Vacation, or just a ludicrous amt of spam in my inbox.

@cascheranno @gord i am describing a hypothetical opt-in feature. one can set an email client to highlight certain things so they are not missed
