What password app thingie? Are you talking about a Google App Password? You only need a Google App Password if the software package/device you are using to connect to you Google account/Gmail does not understand 2SV. Your Android phone understands 2SV because it asked for a verification code when you signed in. You do not need to worry about a Google App Password. > > On Thursday, August 13, 2015 at 9:25:55 AM UTC-7, Jeff Grossman wrote: >> >> >> On Thu, Aug 13, 2015 at 5:08 AM, DEP/Dodo <depf...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> I meant trust the new phone (not computer). >>> >>> My expectation was that I would at least have to input my password >>> because of 2SV if I opted to "trust" the computer and not require a verif. >>> code. >>> >> >> It doesn't work that way with Gmail on the phone.

Once you sign in the first time your device is automatically trusted and you no longer have to enter in a password or a verification code.
