That's already the case. If their algorithms decide that your activity is "unusual", they can disable your ability to login with literally no option to bypass it. https://i.imgur.com/4YrElkJ.png Keep that in mind when you e.g. go traveling. |

Rather than giving users options, Big Tech has decided to paternalistically kill passwords in favor of less convenient and less secure methods (my email is much less secure than my password store). Even from residential IPs, it's become the norm for banking websites to harass you with snake oil "2FA" every time you login. The only solution is to split up your online activities so you can conform to their demands with one VM/browser config, account for the extra annoyances as the price of using their services, and move as much activity as possible to freedom-respecting technologies.
