Got this email yesterday. While it is a bit of a pain, I've been using it on nearly everything I do for about a year.  It's a really simple solution to prevent unwanted access into your accounts.  Google and everyone else knows that a single password system is as useless as tits on a bull.  So, everyone is moving to 2-factor. Five years from now, you'll be dreaming of the days when you only had to punch in one password.


Google has decided that as of Spring 2020, all Nest users will be required to enable two-factor authentication to 'greatly reduce the likelihood of an unauthorized person gaining access to your Nest account.'
