And yet it is ridiculous that I have to respond to a 2fa on my phone just to watch youtube on my laptop, every. time.

I have a paid yt account fine, but watching trivial videos is not in the same class with accessing my gmail, or managing my gmail, or even managing my own videos if I were a youtuber. I'm fine with being one identity (well no I'm not but pretend I am) but those are not all the same activity or class of activity.




Hm. I don't, and now I'm curious why. My login never asks me to 2FA on my regular devices.


I've had that problem on websites when I turned on the strictest privacy settings.


Maybe they are subtly discouraging you from using those settings.


This.
