What they need is better ways for people to try and verify its them when they can no longer access the account. Especially with 2-step authentication.

A 50% reduction of a small, small number means nothing.
Google's security is good, and it's so absurdly strict that they sometimes will not even let the owner log in if they have been offline for months. There are plenty of horror stories about this on the internet.
But Google is certainly profiting from scaring people into giving them their mobile number.

OhNom, 09 Feb 2022Before it was optional and only a few used it, a while ago ... morei think it has been an option for years yes, but it was optional, in the past 2 years though, most companies have now switched to mandatory 2FA which is not possible to opt out of, that being said, I dont know if google is now mandatory, as I am currently on iPhone, but even on IOS many apps are now turning on 2FA

They should make it more easier to use it with authentication apps like it is with sms based two factor.

It's arguable It's kept more people out of their own accounts than it has hackers.

Its curious how the Republicans in the US are openly bullied by the big tech companies. In any other country all these companies would be banned and its b0ard jAiled. Many Democrats, who don't follow a certain narrative are also on the receiving end.
