You realize you can turn off 2-step verification in a Google account?
There are some sites/apps where multi-factor authentication is mandatory, but Google isn’t one of them.
And yeah, I leave 2-step verification off for this reason. What if I lose my grip on my phone and it falls into a river? Losing my phone is bad enough; losing my Google account would make it even worse!
I’ve been all over the settings and there is no way to turn off this verification, in fact I think it is turned off, they are calling this something other than 2fa.
Should be in your Google account settings at “Security & sign-in” → “2-Step Verification” → button at the bottom labeled “Turn off 2-Step Verification”.

…I think. I might be wrong.
