Poll of the Day > questions about 2 step verification for google.

(+) Yeah! (+)

do you believe its necessary to set this up? i don't have a cell phone that is technically mine so to speak, but i hear there are other ways of setting up 2 step. i use a chromebook for my gmail and try to keep a low profile online. one of the ways i heard is you can have 10 codes sent to you, what would happen if i run out of them and cant log back in after the 10th one? was thinking of trying this route, don't have a printer but was thinking of writing down the codes, confused with how it all works lol.

i did have a yahoo account hacked years ago, then the person set up security questions so i couldn't get back in so that makes me nervous with my gmail if it did get hacked and someone set up 2 step so i couldn't get back it, i heard there is no way to contact google to resolve matters either and i have everything on my gmail account.
