To confirm, you can use a guest session, and re-do the test here. You will not be logged in automatically after a browser restart, due to the use of session cookies by the Google Account service.
As pointed out by mardy, the behavior observed in the bug report is due to a chrome feature called "continue where you left off", where chrome doesn't delete the session cookies used for storing that (temporary) username variable.

Steps to reproduce: 1) wipe your session data (make a backup first if you care) by removing ~/.local/share/webbrowser-app/ 2) launch webbrowser-app 3) browse to https://mail.google.com 4) log in with an account that uses 2FA (I’m testing with a @canonical.com address) 5) read your e-mails 6) close the browser window 7) launch webbrowser-app again Expected result: you’re back to your inbox, logged in and ready to work Actual result: google prompts you for your e-mail address. Once entered, the login happens automatically, there is no need to do the 2FA dance again.
