Description

How tangible would it be to make it possible to receive login confirmations when you added your Google account to microG and want to login elsewhere, e.g. on a PC? I mean these prompts to tap yes or to match those two-digit codes. Sure, you can add your phone number, but sometimes this doesn't work anyway and raises obvious privacy concerns. Therefore the only solution that is often left is having to find and turn on or carry with yourself a secondary smartphone with proprietary gApps. This is quite inconvenient.
