I entered my TOTP and then Google forced me to open YouTube on my phone. I didn't have YouTube (I deleted it), so I had to re-installed the YouTube app and sign in through that before I could login to whatever I was initially trying to do.

This makes absolutely beyond zero sense given how Google accounts work on Android, or just in general.

I have an iPhone, but it still makes no sense. I wish I could opt-out of authenticating through Google's apps and just use my TOTP. It's annoying.
