Marko, your response is precisely what I wanted to know. I was thinking about 2-step verification for our three computers here at home, but I feel they are "reasonably secure" as you do yours. I rarely use someone else's computer; rather I am more likely to take with me and use my smallest computer in a wi-fi setting. Clearly, under those circumstances (using another's computer or wi-fi), it would make sense to set up 2-step verif.
Now I'm going to ask for your (and anyone else's) opinion. For that one computer that I *occasionally* take with me to use elsewhere via wi-fi and on which I have had no problems, would I be foolish to go with the adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" and stay with the status quo? With thanks, *~Diane* Earlier, Diane asked if fellow Gmail users use the 2-Step Verification process. I do not, because I access my Gmail only from computers that I know are reasonably secure. On the other hand, if I used someone else's computer, or an unknown computer in a library or an Internet cafe, then I would want to use the 2-Step process. That is the kind of situation it was designed for. > > I know many users who only use Gmail on one single computer. They do however manage to regularly get infected with spyware, malware etc. etc. This is also the kind of user that will benefit from 2-Step. > > -- > Marko -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Gmail-Users" group.
