    Hi Team, I am in a bad situation of which my email address was exposed for a very long time after an Ex partner left with them putting in their phone number as the authenticator. I did not find out until months after and the police have been helpful but it is not enough for charges. Which I understand. As soon as I changed the authenticator and password a series of failed exchange syncs occurred. I pressed that this was not secure and it deleted 3 of them so I took a screen shot. It is my belief that my email addresses was harvested by the partner and her tech head new BF. They had full acce

    GMAIL 2FA Authentication Question

    Thanks for replying. Apologies, but I was reluctant to use the link that you supplied. I do not want to remove text and call. I do not want text or call to be the default options which it is now after I reset my password. I want to add Use Backup Codes to the main options as well as the GOOGLE Authenticator option. And I do not see that now. Only this:

    And when I click on 2 Step Verification it shows this:

    Which is why I am still mulling over the option to remove my phone number and disable 2FA and start over. I'm hoping if I do that and do not enter my phone number first I will get the options back of using the Backup Codes and the Authenticator app and then add my phone number and hopefully this time the phone number will not be the default option. What do you think?
