Don't have MFA on a Google Cloud account? You'll have to from Jan

Google Cloud is the latest to take the decision away from customers and enforce the use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all users to improve the security of the minority that don't already have it enabled.

All your you's belongs to us.

It's over. The world has been turned over to the AI the ALMIGHTY. They didn't even have to try, and you were sooooooo eager to jump when they said jump. All Hail the data thief kings! Hail!Hail!

Now they have your voice, fingerprint, eye scan, and even your deepest thoughts. Your house has been mapped, your children's names and locations databased. No way out. The spider has you. Become the hive mind or die. You will be assimilated. You do not have a choice. The monkeys were too stupid to live anyway.

That's when I will no longer have a Google cloud account.

my google account still does not have a phone number connected to it

but still using MFA though, i just use aegis instead of the google authenticator "malware" crap

works fine on degoogled android phones (have over 50 MFA logins setup in it)

just lacks offline backups, but thats easily solved with syncthing on phone and syncthing on a desktop - syncthing has a brilliant option ... sync only on charging

if phone ever gets lost/dies also have aegis/syncthing running on an android x86 vm in the cloud, which i can vnc in if needed *over tailscale only*

all free .... if u can't beat them .... knowledge up and USE AND ABUSE THEM... its your moral duty :)
