Enforcing the use of physical security keys for 2-Step Verification (2SV) provides a highly secure method of protecting user accounts from unauthorized access. Physical security keys are one of the most robust forms of two-factor authentication because they cannot be easily phished or stolen, even if an attacker knows the user's password. Google recommends using physical security keys as the 2SV method, as they provide strong protection against unauthorized access attempts.

Wait, can text messages really be trusted for 2SV?

Disabling password recovery seems risky; I feel like users need that option in case they forget their passwords.

I practiced a similar question where we had to choose between password policies and 2SV methods, and I feel like a strong password policy is essential too.

I think enforcing physical security keys sounds really secure, but I wonder if all users would be willing to adopt that method.

I remember discussing the importance of 2-Step Verification in class, but I'm not sure if text messages are the best option anymore.

Okay, let's see here. Disabling password recovery doesn't sound right, and the password policy alone might not be enough. I think I'll go with option C and enforce physical security keys. Seems like the most secure approach.

Ah, this is a good one. I know Google recommends using 2-step verification, so I'm leaning towards option B or C. Gotta make sure we're following their best practices.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Disabling password recovery could cause issues, but I'm not sure if that's the best approach. I'll need to think this through carefully.

Strong password policy, huh? I'll just make my password 'Password123!', that'll really keep them out. Genius, I know.
