That's what I'm saying. That isn't new. I've been using Authy for several
years with gmail logins. I don't think I've ever used a mobile number for
google.
If authy only runs as a phone app, does that phone need an associated
mobile number? Does authy need access to know it?
Personally, I have no issue giving google a mobile number, but there is
on specific individual around these parts, who certainly did object and
as a consequence couldn't setup oauth, or an imap specific password.
I'm confused by the information in the OP as I've recently (just last week)
tried to set up a new Google account using just my normal ISP (no VPN) but
Google insisted on a phone number and hence the account never got set up.
In a normal home environment, and therefore not in a corporate managed
computer, does this new information mean anyone at home can now start a new
Google email account without needing to have a phone number on file?
How?
