> After my first attempt, Google asked me to provide them with my phone number so that they could send me a security code to login.

What? Like any number? His number? Google doesn't even verify if it's the Gmail owner's phone number? This can't be right.

    Agreed, I think the title is probably incognito click bait for this guy's app. I find little value in this article.

      @Author here - value is that don't commit sensitive data like email and password into your public github repo. Consider using an ENV variable

        You didn't address the comment above this. What phone number did you use?

That same search he did gives

"We could not perform this search

Must include at least one user, organization, or repository"

Is this guy lying?
