Ah, you can set up two-factor for most Google services but not devices registering with Voice.

I haven't tried Google's two factor stuff.  I have my passwords under control (I developed complex solution, but I use it and it works for me), adding some app to my phone seemed a complication that wouldn't necessarily make matters better for me.  

I wish Google would make it easier to connect to voice with device that is more completely under my control.
