...Here is to hoping. After being exposed to Android for a while now, I would be more than happy to get a new Windows phone again.

Really, some UI steps that Google puts into Android are an abomination. And is it really that difficult for Google to remove 1 device from your list of approved devices? Instead you must eliminate all devices and re-register each device one by one....ff-ing amazing job, Google! I wonder how many people are bothered enough to do this. But it would be a safe assumption to state that most people just say: 'F... this' and don't do anything. Kinda defeats the whole purpose of your "security".

Seriously, the person(s) who thought this to be a good UI design, deserve to be taken behind the shed (and their final thought to be: "Aha, so that is how a functional UI works on the device that is putting this bullet in my head").

Yes, quite agree. Couldn't have put it much better if I had tried.   :Thmbsup:

Is this the same as logging into your account, selecting Sign in & security -> Device activity & notifications -> Recently used devices (a relative term) -> Review devices -> select a device and click Remove ?

Or do you mean removing a device from 2-Step Verification exclusion (ie. Trusted device) where you only have a choice of Revoke All (FWIW, I don't have any on any of my Google accounts) ?

Or is this some other area of your Google account?
