>> There simply must be a way to change how Google handles two-factor authentication which does not constantly lock out poor people who use the public library to access their email. It must be possible to make it so we do not constantly reach these dead-ends where Google tells patrons to endlessly loop through “I don’t have my phone” and “Try another way” until their account becomes locked permanently due to too many failed attempts.

Why is Google making it hard for the poor to access their email in these times?

it’s not like google just launched today. They have the data of these users, who use internet from public libraries.
