Google account registration now requires sending an SMS via phone instead of receiving an SMS
I have tried it myself, the registration is no longer possible with the QR code. Supposedly, using the QR code on the smartphone triggers an SMS sent from your phone to Google in order to verify your phone number. Supposedly, this is for security. A valid argument, since finish is harder this way, although not impossible. However, this prohibits the use of services like SMSpool, too. Does anyone have any ideas how to handle account registration in the future?
JayI would strongly encourage everyone who has a Google account to enable Advanced Protection via Google's #AdvancedProtectionProgram https://google.com/advancedprotection and if you have an #AndroidPhone, you should also enable enable Advanced Protection on your device as well.
On Pixel Devices:
-> Settings
-> Security and Privacy
-> Advanced Protection
And turn it on.
This gives you Google's highest level of protection for your device and account.
