Thank you for confirming this, as did Andy Burns (whom I've never found to
ever be wrong on any material fact), particularly as I don't use 2FA/2SV.
The reason I asked is that when the topic came up in the Apple newsgroups,
the nospam iKook brazenly claimed that it was permanent for Google in
defense of his (now known to be fabricated excuse) of why Apple's will never allow you to turn it off once the short trial period has expired.
It's the leftmost set of people in the Dunning-Kruger quartile who do what nospam just did, and what he _repeatedly_ does with oh, so much confidence.
a. They derive most of their self esteem from Apple advertisements
b. Hence, when Apple flaws exist, they are _desperate_ to deny they exist
c. Which, in this case was why nospam claimed Google's 2SV/2FA was permanent
Each fact the iKooks _hate_ about Apple, they first brazenly deny it.
When it's no longer deniable they blame Google for "making" Apple do it.
When that is no longer deniable, they turn into instant kindergarten kids.
Why this is important is that most people think the iKooks exist simply
because Apple products are different, but that's _not_ the reason.
Linux products are different. Android is different from Windows.
No.
The reason iKooks exist is this, which I realized after long study:
a. All the iKooks own a substandard IQ
b. Their brains can't separate fact from propaganda
The propaganda feeds them that Apple can do no wrong, which they believe. Hence, when Apple does do them wrong, they _hate_ Apple for lying to them.
Their entire belief system was a figment of Apple's propaganda, not facts. Hence, every fact about Apple instantly _destroys_ their imaginary beliefs!
Facts are _dangerous_ to the iKooks.
That's why they all, to a man, _hate_ all facts about Apple products.
The childish way the iKooks deal with facts is simply to deny they exist.
Child: Santa exists.
Adult: No it doesn't.
Child: But I saw him at the mall.
Adult: That was just a man dressed as Santa.
Child: No. It _was_ Santa.
Adult: Unfortunately, Santa is just a marketing gimmick.
Child: Liar! Liar... Liar... Pants on fire!
It's what makes them iKooks.
I have never met such strange people in the flesh in my entire life.

The problem with low IQ people like nospam isn't that they're incredibly stupid, but that they believe everything that they are fed by marketing.
