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,

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.

This is also the kind of user that will benefit from 2-Step. ​
