Google Verification

David Chung at

So I recently acquired a security token and have been pairing all applicable accounts with it while I rotate passwords.

My old Google account had my mobile number paired so I removed it in favour of the security token.

Interestingly, when I went through the authentication process, it challenged my security token, which is good but then it wanted to also verify by using SMS on the mobile number I just deleted! I just verified it's nowhere to be seen in my account settings!

I guess I was too wishful thinking that a delete request for Google would really be honoured.

Hopefully, STOP requests via SMS are honoured...

Google, not with a 10 feet pole 😆
