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.
Cool but that doesn’t fix the fact that the default method is one that literally does not function and can result in a permanent lockout. Though, I admit, SMS is way less secure than the Authenticator App.
It’s the default because you made it the default. Change your damn security settings Google can’t do that for you! Quick to rant about something without knowing how it works or how you got there is on you and not Google.
This is Lemmy you can’t expect people to be calm or rational
