Hello. I have a problem and I need your help.
I can’t add two-step verification via gmail, I get an error like in the screenshot:
I just tried it and I cannot confirm this issue:
Some ideas:
- Try a different network (mobile vs WiFi)
- Try again later
- Try @googlemail.com instead of @gmail.com
- Try a different eMail-address
By the way: Using eMail for 2FA is not a good idea, neither SMS.
Instead take a look at for example Authy. And if you on premium you also should take a look at Yubikey and the free option of Duo.
As always: Implement more than just a single 2FA option and try all of them before you rely on them.
Thank you for your interest in my problem 
I checked, it still doesn’t work
Maybe it does not work because it has a docker on synology?
why is not a good idea?
Here is something to read:
There are probably also some good Polish websites describing the risks that come with that.
Just search for: “sms” “email” “2fa”

I have the same problem and even when I’m pretty aware that 2fa through email is not the best choice Is an easy way to ckeck if my setup can send some email for any other reason.
And it can’t.
The “forget it” way is not a solution for me because I just want to make it work.
There’s any news after those years?
