Oh, look, I've got a message!
"Turn on two-factor authentication?" Well, I was hoping for something more juicy than that... but sure, that sounds good.
Okay, so there are two options: GMBill, and... really? I've got to install a random app on my phone? A random app, that I don't know and don't really trust, for the *sole purpose* of topping up my AW account, which I do probably once or twice a year?
You know how many one-off apps I *already have* on my phone because every goddamn online service has been going hog-wild with "install OUR app so we can stick our icon on your home screen and spread our branding!!" marketing nonsense? More than zero, which is already too many.
No thanks. GMBill is fine.
Wait, GMBill is already selected. In fact, it's selected by default... for everybody... which means that "turn on 2FA" is misleading, since it's already on. I'm just not using AW's *preferred* 2FA method.
Hey, I've still got a message: "Turn on two-factor authentication?" How do I get rid of this thing?
Oh. I can't. It's stuck in my inbox until and unless I switch.
AW admins... this doesn't seem very user-friendly. In fact, it's a pain in the ass.
