   I checked my google settings (security section) and 2-step verification is   
   turned off, and I have a "recovery email" address listed, but the "Try another   
   way" button didn't offer to contact me via my recovery email address.   
      
   2-factor verification is turned off, and Google does NOT make me use 2-factor   
   verification when I access my account through my phone or my PC, but the   
   malfunction only occurs when I try to access my account from someone else's   
   phone.   
      
   I suspect (maybe I really am crazy) that it's an phone issue. I had the same   
   issue when I tried to access my google account from my daughter's iphone. They   
   want to know who is who, and where everyone is, at all times. It seems to be   
   some kind of ED treatment for somebody at the Google HQ. :)
