    If you lose your phone you can’t get into the google universe, and can lose so much.
    There should be a recover email. The other options seem too difficult to understand and set up.
    I don’t like that if you lose your phone, you are screwed.

    I’m using an app to control smoke detectors. If smoke is detected, I’m in a panic and need the app immediately and don’t have time for 2-step verification.

    I move about a lot both at home and out of the country. It is a nightmare everywhere to constantly go through this process. Very fortunate that it can be turned off permanently.
