I turned it off immediately, because I was more worried about losing access than someone guessing my password (besides, Google has other mechanisms already in place like IP checks or new device checks). I can't believe Google would activate 2FA on all accounts. It seems too easy for it to go wrong for normal people.

I relogged into gmail recently and no 2fa was required.
