Chris is correct that it can be a variety of "different things" that
suffice for 2FA/2SV/MFA/MSV where I'm almost completely unfamiliar with
what those multiple things might be. 

Can someone help us flesh out _what_ those multiple MFA things might be?

Here's a list I came up with searching about where I ask others to help
flesh it out so that we each have a list of what our choices might be.

1. OAuth2 (usually using an on-device Google Account), or
2. Autoforward Google mail to a non-Google account, or,
3. 2FA/2SV/MSV/MFA via a variety of authenticators, such as...
   a. app passwords
   b. Some kind of "2FA/2SV/MSV/MFA authenticator" app, such as...
      FreeOTP Authenticator, Google Authenticator, Authy, FreeOTP+, etc.
   c. USB tokens
   d. Time-based one-time passwords (TOTP)
   e. SMS 2FA 
   f. Use the phone's built-in security key
   g. Use a physical "security key"
   h. Get a one-time security code from another device
   i. Enter one of your 8-digit backup codes
   j. Sign in using QR codes
   k. Set up a "trusted computer" for sign in
   l. Sign in with "google prompts"
Any others?

Since this is slightly off topic of a request to flesh out the MFA methods,
I added this post, with additional URLs to a specific thread over here:
 *Please help flesh out MUA:Google 2SV/2FA/MSV/MFA options*
 *for everyone to benefit prior to June 30th 2022*
