I just tried to log into my google account. Put email, password - as I've done for years. Captcha - three times, got a green checkmark. They emailed a 'verification code'. Got that. Then they want a phone number to text a 'verification code'. No! This is obvious invasive, sinister data collecting. Too many companies are doing this, but google is the worst. I don't have to jump through nearly as many hoops to get into major financial accounts.
