How to force Google Prompt to ask "Match the number" during 2-Step Verification

[plee]

Hi,

CISA recommends using number matching to mitigate MFA fatigue.

Google 2-Step Verification ask the user to match the number sometimes.  

Is there an option to force Google's prompt to ask "Match the number" every time?  Thank you.

Here are the screenshots of how the match number looks in the Google app.

If you want the strongest security, it is authentication using security keys.

I would also like it to be possible to force this feature on 2FA.

@plee @jonathan_gott  "Google 2-Step Verification ask the user to match the number sometimes.  "

what happens the other times, you get prompted by another security option or none at all?

Right now, Google Prompt will just give a "Yes" or "No" prompt option. To help with MFA fatigue, it would be ideal for it to have an extra layer that requires the user to recognize they are the ones trying to access their account. The number matching @plee describes would be ideal as it's already built into Google MFA in some instances. We would just like to make it have to be used whenever authenticating via 2FA.

@jonathan_gott  Got it, thanks, I don't think that is possible.

The alternate option is you can use the "Authenticator app" which keeps on generating a new number every 60 seconds I guess.

and the most secure way with zero reported hijacking or hacking cases is a security key, google employees use this as the 2step verification method,(security keys are costly though)

Please share it here if you are planning to add it as a feature idea, but to be honest,the chances that google might consider this is less as there are more secured ways available already.
