So Google has announced that 2FA will be mandatory soon and if you don't turn it on they will turn off your account.
How is this going to affect authentication for YTTV where the most reliable method has been to create a second Gmail account that has no security features turned on?
It's not an issue as long as you have a phone or other device you can click on the authentication notification Google sends
also not an issue for family accounts
It is important to note that the mandatory 2FA policy primarily affects general consumer accounts and not specifically family accounts.
