This is fantastic, please support Google Advanced Protection as I cannot add my account as a result of it being enabled on my account.

I didn't realise until now that third-party apps could work with Advanced Protection.

I didn't either. I'll be looking into this. Thanks!

I looked into it and it seems by invite only. I get it.

Thank you for looking into it. I will consider removing it from my account... seems to only add barriers that are vendor lock in and not actual security.

Do you need the full advanced protection setup (hw key required for every session)? It does work with the somewhat less draconian normal key support where the key is required just for new logins.

Yes, I like having something titled 'Advanced Protection' on my central Google account.

AFAIK from my time in the APP, The "blessed session" system doesn't work any differently as I don't recall needing the key to access passwords.google.com or anything like that.
