Latest macOS, latest Chrome over home ISP, regular browser window, EU region – no QR prompt (just an SMS to a number) after a dozen Google searches with click-through stretched over a working day. Going straight for account creation results in a QR prompt.

Other things might work as well and faster, but this is what worked for me. I’ve created three accounts over a week with the same IP address. There’s definitely more than meets the eye.
