You already have authenticated your computer as the second factor. The article headline implies you can just use a password to remove 2FA. False.

You can use your password AND that authenticated and still valid session or device to do the reset.

Google gives you options with your free account.

1) No 2FA

2) 2FA with insecure methods

3) 2FA with security keys and authenticators.

4) Advanced Protection Program

5) Paid account options with additional options / controls.
