I can confirm that that's what happens to your account when you dont have 2FA enabled. Can you double check your settings?


I'm on mobile right now, and I don't see a way to check 2FA status from within the Gmail app. I can confirm that I've had it set up correctly before, as I've received an authentication code from Google as recently as September 28.


You should be able to visit https://myaccount.google.com in a mobile browser to check your 2FA setting.


Aha, thanks, that does indeed say that 2FA is disabled. But I'm seriously baffled as to how it became disabled, as I absolutely enabled it previously and have been receiving 2FA verification codes via text since at least May 2015. Is there some way of accidentally disabling 2FA for Google accounts? I haven't gotten a new phone for years, and I've made no other changes to my Google account for as long.
