The boss wants me to set up 2fa on the work gmail account, which is fair enough, but it turns out to be impossible to do so.
In order to set up 2fa with Gmail you must first associate a phone number with your account because Google are greedy data-hoarders.
But I don't have any business phone number and I am unwilling to associate my personal phone number with my employers gmail account.
So we had to do the dance where I give it his phone number and he forwards the sms confirmation to me and then I set up 2fa and then delete the phone number.
Every other one of the services he's asked me to set up 2fa for didn't require a phone number.
It's mostly just Google that Sucks.
