Hey guys, so this is a really random question, but here it goes.

A few weeks ago I was flashing some Android ROM and long story short (I can't remember the details, that's the problem), I was on a thread here that guided me to a page in Google's Account Security (it was a legit .Google.com URL, I double checked before clicking it) that allowed me to temporarily disable my Google 2-step Authentication for a few mins. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I have been all over The Googles and cannot find ANY mention of temporarily disabling or pausing the 2-step. But I KNOW I did it! What the heck!! I feel like I'm going crazy (which I cannot completely rule out). Does anyone know what I'm referring to? THANK YOU!!!!

Allow a new application to access your account

As a security precaution, Google may prevent an application from accessing your account if it's the first time we've seen this application sign in to your account, or if it's attempting to sign in from a new location.

If you want to allow an application to access your account:

1. Click the Continue button below
2. Sign in using the application you want to authorize access to your account within the next ten minutes. Google will remember the application after it signs in, and will allow it to access your account in the future as long as it uses the correct password.
