How is this news?

 
I only posted it because there are people who have complained it wasn't
possible to access gmail with oauth, or app specific passwords without
registering a verifiable phone number ...

Using a third party app for reading gmail does require 2SV/MFA, but no idea
why people felt that a phone number was needed. It is an option, but not
the only one.
