The reason I got a google voice over a decade ago was if i lost mt phone, left it home, or it was dead. Now I can't login unless I have an old device. Lose your devices in a fire or robbery? Lose your google account forever.

Already use a version of this for Amazon and GoDaddy accounts...real pain is for the luddites who shun mobile devices.

This ensures that only you can use your passkeys to log in.

Or, someone with your finger, eyeball, or whatever biometric they decide on.
