Interesting comment on your part, Marko. No, I haven't tried to *change*
how I receive verification codes because I haven't yet set up 2-step verif.
pending what has been going on up to now (rather, what has *not* been going
on!). Specifically, I haven't been able to verify my phone of choice, my
landline number, for account recovery. This apparently requires SMS. I
thought this same verification was also necessary prior to and in order to
get the codes for 2-step verif. after that was set up. Remember how I
mentioned a few hours ago how confused I was on these two topics? So the
link you have provided me intrigues me and adds to my confusion.
You may recall we (you and I) have discussed previously within this (long)
thread about 2-step verif. for *selected* computers since we both also have
computers which are "reasonably secure" (your words). The computer I have
in mind is one I use at home ("reasonably secure" there?) and take with me
when I want to use Gmail away from home. So far, this particular computer
has remained secure when I use wi-fi. But since it is the most vulnerable
because of wi-fi or even using offline Gmail (I guess), this was the one I
was going to set up for 2-step verif.
Because of my confusion, part of me is saying leave things as they are ("If
it ain't broke, don't fix it"); the other part thinks 2-step verif. is
ideal for that one computer. Then, throw in my confusion between account
recovery phone verif. and getting verif. codes, which has led to my
confusion about whether I need texting capability, and I am holding off
doing anything until/unless I get un-confused. That's what I'm relying on
you and the others for.
