You realize you can turn off 2-step verification in a Google account?

There are some sites/apps where multi-factor authentication is mandatory, but Google isn't one of them.

And yeah, I leave 2-step verification off for this reason. What if I lose my grip on my phone and it falls into a river? Losing my phone is bad enough; losing my Google account would make it even worse!
