Directly, that's not necessarily a big thing, but if you have a gmail account<br>
associated with the YT account -- as they forced some years back -- and you've<br>
forgotten about that, devices may not be able to send or receive email through<br>
that account anymore either, and it's not clear whether you can turn 2FA back <br>
off for such accounts, or de-associate them from the YT account.</blockquote><div dir="auto"><br></div></div><div><div dir="auto">There’s Application Passwords/App Passwords for that.

I know this will break things as I had a client turn on 2FA for an account a<br>
few months back, and their copier stopped being able to mail scans to people.<br>
<br>
A low-impact problem... unless you have it. And can't figure out why.<br>
