Also requiring the recipient to log into Google to allow google to track them.

And conditioning users to click on links they see in emails. Ugh.

I've already experienced this with employers and when buying a home using "HP SecureMail" and some Microsoft e-mail encryption. All they would have in the e-mail body is a link and I would need to validate my identity in some way to access the "protected" content through the website instead of it just being in my e-mail.

I agree that this is something to be concerned about but according to the instructions it doesn't require a Google login so you could do the entire session in a private browsing window if you wanted as long as you can get the verification code by SMS or the email address.

"Private"/"incognito" tabs and windows do little to nothing to protect you from the kind of tracking companies like Google engage in.
