I don't have any Google accounts but I have a problem with 2-factor
authentication (2FA).

I do have a Cell Phone ("secondary personal device")  but only use
it as a Telephone when I'm away from the house.
I don't use it for Texting or Data.

I have a land line phone and can't receive Text Messages on it.

I was asked by my Email Provider for a 2FA phone number but learned
by reading the sites Help page that it wanted a Mobile Number not
the L/L number when I was asked for a 2FA number.
I tried entering the L/L # but later on I removed that entry.

I only give the Cell Phone number to a few people or businesses.
I won't enter it when I'm asked about 2FA.

I guess I'm just a trouble maker.
