I provided that number and only then was I allowed to reset the password.And you have to pre-register the phone number. Sounds about as secure as you're going to get when trying to scale to 10 digits of users.... And as I said earlier - if your threat model involves needing more security than that, you have bigger problems.. :)
As they say, I no longer have a dog in this fight beyond myself and to an extent (advisory capacity) my wife, but I have been having trouble understanding the concept of organizations ("network operators") with large and legitimate concerns for security issues, using gmail.
