So if your a mod feel free to close this topic because it has served its purpose.

Although Google probably took this a step too far, it generally is a good idea to have a phone verification for important stuff. I loved my bank's old system when every payment you make from your online banking has to be confirmed by you on the phone. Now they've changed it to a confirmation by re-typing the password you used to log in which is stupid because it stops only someone who jumped to my computer while I went to check the oven; I want a system that would stop someone who hacked into my computer/whatever and knows all my passwords.
Or you could just not save it on your computer? HOT DAMN!

If you're not using Sneakemail then you fail. And no, you don't need a phone to use Google. But then again I knew this before I clicked your topic title, Tempz.
If you're paying for email then you fail.
He DID say that if you provide your real information on the internet, you deserve to have your privacy violated. Some people troll 24/7.
I never said you deserved to have your privacy violated. And I already have a simpler setup that works just as well as for free. It's called having two email accounts. One is for personal use, the other is for handing out on the internet.

And having your password stolen doesn't necessarily mean that he has his passwords saved on his computer. He might have lost it due to a keylogger, phishing, or smething else.

I order you to forgive yourself!

Today, Google asked me to add a phone to make my account to make it more secure. Under, there was an option to skip this step.

Lol, the irony in this comment forced me to login. Yahoo search results are powered by Bing.

Google is a free service, its logical to assume if you can't afford a simple cell phone then you're either to young/poor to bother clicking ads/consuming goods, the source of Google's income. Also, it is a good way to deter bandwidth from DOS attacks/fake accounts. Win/Win

That's not a Win-Win.

Google advertizes to less people, maybe they save more bandwith, but all of the people that don't have cell phones are going to go to another Email Provider, and see their advertizements. and the young/poor people without a cell phones get screwed. Although pretty soon cell phones will be the norm for 5 year olds too :/
And... Who clicks on adds? I know I don't.

Well, neither of us has access to Google's advertising statistics but what we can observe is that they are actually going through with it, hence it probably is worth more to do what they're doing now then just use a form of Captcha.

Anyone who has ever used Google's Adsense knows that people click on ads. ^^

Google has to pay the bills somehow. If they didn't, they'd cease to exist, or roll back their services and offer less. Would your use of the internet be worse without google search and gmail, or better? When google wins, everyone who uses their services also wins.
