Diane, Congratulations on getting your two-step verification going. I can't imagine how we'd have figured that out.

I think it's mostly a compromise between convenience and security. I have to log back into Google on occasion (most often, I suspect, when our cable box gets a new IP address or I go somewhere with my laptop). I also have two-step authentication enabled on PayPal and a couple other sites. It's annoynig to always have to go through the two-step dance, but I'm willing to put up with it for the extra security, especially for financial sites like PayPal and sites I visit less frequently. Between Google itself, Gmail, Google Groups, Google Docs, Picasa, and I don't know what all, it would be a royal PITA to have to go through the two-step verification process every time I visited a Google web property.
