Why don't you share a TOTP between all of you? Just take a screenshot of the authenticator QR code, or save it to a shared 1password secret.

Google's login protection mechanisms seem to be satisfied by TOTP usage, and you won't be locked out anymore (or at least much less likely to be).

You're right that would totally work with Google. In our case the boss is quite computer illiterate and trying to get him to use LastPass was hard enough. He will tolerate a lot of pain from getting locked out before he'll be willing to learn TOTP :-(

And for many of the SaaS that we use, TOTP doesn't help you avoid the security lock outs.
