  I think you *did* use a phone number, because, as I said, you needed
(past tense) a phone number or 'Google prompts' or a 'Security Key' to
switch on 2SV. Note *phone* number, not neccessarily a *mobile* number,
because Google can use a voice prompt for 2SV. (As I said elsewhere in
the thread, I tested this (i.e. set up a new Google Account) as recently
as October 23, so Andy's information is indeed new.)
