Well, as an experiment I just tried enabling it with the Nest app on my phone. It asked me for my Google password (fine), then sent a code to any phone number of my choice (though Google knows my phone number, but anyway).
Obviously no code arrived. I then did the upstairs chimney thing, and after a few worrying minutes a code did arrive. That was accepted. Closed Nest, relaunched it, all seemed well.
It's a start, thanks chaps.
As to the IT comment, believe it or not I was indeed an IT professional for decades, though not in security. Since retiring, use it or lose it has come into effect big time. These days, I tend to close my eyes, bang the keyboard with a banana and hope for the best. As is evident from my posts.
