Increase in QR Code / Face Verification on Google Accounts

[Mattk97]

We have been running into an increased amount of Google accounts with Google's security requiring QR code verification or face verification when logging in. Has anyone else been dealing with this. We are a large agency that historically has set up a Google account for each client so that we can manage Google Analytics, Search Console, GTM, get access to GBP, etc. We have a global recovery email set but with remote employees who are in different areas it has become a pain when some users can access the account and others are hit with the 2fa verification for face verification or QR code. Then sometimes it doesn't let you into the account because of suspicious activity.

Have other agencies ran into this, and/or what alternative options should we consider as far as set up / management goes for handling analytics / GSC / GTM / etc for 1000+ SMB clients?

You are doing this wrong. Google forbids sharing logins and passwords. You should have one primary account to control all accounts and add users to those properties. What you are doing can get the Google account backlisted and cause the services associated with that email to be suspended.
