Does it have to be _your_ phone number, or can it be any phone
that you can answer at the time of creating the app password?
Will Google ever phone you again on the same number?

Another question is, does setting up the app password require
a computer running nonfree software?  (For instance, a mobile phone.)
Can you do this with a landline?
