   Wrong.   
      
   I have plenty of Google accounts and not one of them requires 2FA.   
   Apple is the only OS vendor who murders privacy with 2FA being required.   
      
   Notice there's a reason I say that the Apple trolls know nothing about   
   anything since you don't know this fact - but you "think" you know it.   
      
   Google only required 2FA for about a month or two a couple of years ago and   
   then stopped that requirement because of the uproar by people who hated it.   
    *There are now 3rd-party MUAs to recover from Google May 30th 2022 unilateral   
   loss of privacy*   
       
      
   By August of 2022, Google stopped requiring 2FA/2FV/MFV for their accounts.   
   That's a fact.   
      
   What's interesting is the Apple trolls are all on Mount Stupid where they   
   think they know facts - but in reality - they know nothing about anything.
