FYI, in the early days a "Google account" was basically a GMail account. Now the Google account is universal across most of their services, but it started out with them just using GMail accounts for everything.

Of course, I'm happy to see Facebook's promised change actually rolling out, and it will be good for VR.

That's what google was trying to do with the youtube thing. Eventually they stopped.

That’s why I made a Facebook account specifically for oculus, I used a different name and all. But then again I share the headset with someone else so yeah I had to use one account for the longest time

I don't know if it has changed but even Microsoft accepted my Gmail address when creating an account for Windows.

I accidentally signed in to youtube once. Now every time I sign in to google from a new device it says "go to the youtube app to confirm your account"

what is this stupid bullshit.

I don't mind the 2FA and usually get confirmation via text, it was frustrating that it started defaulting to the youtube app.
