2FA requires a phone number (for google accounts)


It does not. I had TOTP 2FA only on my last work account and it was company policy not to add phone numbers for security reasons.

This is what I see on my personal GApps account: http://i.imgur.com/YHAOFlZ.png

TOTP 2FA with no recovery options.

Maybe they changed their policies since 2014 :/
