Got this new militant full screen at login today. Used to be

Never mind that the password is locally backed up and encrypted.
Nor that SSL is in use preventing, ooo, hijacking, lol :)
Somehow I suspect those of us having legacy accounts
and refusing to link a phone number to them will be without
an account in the not too far off future. Oh well.
At least they're cutely honest with their behind the scenes

Phone number (mobile or landline)
Google will only use your phone number to verify your identity-never
to send you unwanted messages.
