Just FYI there is a solution to this: enroll your gmail account in the advanced protection program

When you login you are required to use a security key (like Yubi key) but it removes all the annoying emails and texts with codes, IP filtering, login AI, etc

If you use your phone as the security key and something goes wrong you are in exactly the same situation. Let alone with weird one where they talk to your phone using bluetooth as a security key. I have seen that one go very wrong so many times now.

That's not a possible state to be in. Google won't let you set up Advanced Protection unless you configure a minimum of two security keys, one of which may be your phone's built-in key.
