I haven't seen that message in the account I'm using for testing purposes; and 2SV is not enabled. But the account is tied to my phone -- which I thought could possibly be a reason -- so I accessed the dev console with another account that has virtually nothing attached to it, and still don't see it.

Where do you see that message at? (not that I don't believe you, the article is clear on the May 12/13 date; I just want to know why I haven't seen it).

That being said, some ideas:

- Only enable 2FA when you need to access the console (ie. to add new accounts); then disable it again

- For the purpose of the necessary Client Id/Secret -- Use an account that you don't need to access manually (or create a new account for the purpose), and enable 2FA on that account. I would suggest that you use PP to checkmail this account to keep it active (and to possibly receive messages from Google regarding it, although you could specify a different email address for Google to send you notifications in the Dev console)

I didn't see the 2-step verification prompt on the first computer I set up the console on. I saw it on my other computer. I can't explain why it would show it on one computer and not the other. On the computer that popped up the 2-step verification prompt, I just clicked "Remind me later".

It'll be interesting to see if anyone else sees the message.

I tried logging into the account with a browser I rarely use and a private window -- no notification. So then I took your advice and tried another computer (very rarely used, I'd be surprised if I've ever logged into this particular account on this computer, let alone the dev console) -- no notification.
