Yay, more hoops to jump through! There was muttering from Google back in May, so they must have pushed on with the changes.
It'll be a fun change for those without smartphones especially, but at this stage I can't imagine there's that many using Google services who aren't connected up. Anecdotally, thanks to all the Covid scanning requirements, people have been buying smartphones just to make their lives a little easier so that should lessen the impact.
Personally, 2FA isn't secure enough, I want 4FA minimum. Trying to log in? Check your smartphone. Trying to check your smartphone? Ring this phone number. Trying to ring a phone number? Open the freezer door twice on your smartfridge followed by one press of the icemaker. Only then will we know it's really you.
