![]() ![]() My account got compromised somehow (keylogger?) by a computer with an IP in Indonesia I think, luckily Google helped me catch it in time and I immediately enabled 2 step verification. It should be mentioned that for apps that do not use password authentication that this two step process uses application specific passwords. It must be sad having a fragile ego such that you need to tear down anyone that disagrees with you. Writing that long of a story about your problems, yet still wrong because you’re incompetent. Is there a way to do the 2-Step Authentication thing if you don’t have access to your mobile phone? Oh, in regards to the QR, just print it out or do a screen shot of the QR and store it in a safe place on your computer, this way when you need it again you just rescan it into the G.A. I’ve used 2 step verification before but I’m not sure where this would help, can you explain more? The same thing happened to me, except I got a notification from Android telling me my login was invalid. The app-specific passwords can be used as often as you like, but they’re only ever DISPLAYED once. I used to use this then stopped after a while because it’s a pain in the ass, and I had to setup each individual google app manually. I received notification from Google mail when i logged in one day that some Asshat in Mexico logged into my account. Note: For habitual ROM flashers that wipe their data every week or so, this may not be a fun process. ![]() Setting up Authenticator isn’t the easiest process, especially if you have multiple devices on a single account. ![]() In this context, Google Authenticator works as a second line of defense if your account is compromised. With the story of the Wired writer who had his entire digital life wiped out this weekend by hackers taking center stage this week, we figured now would be a good time to make sure all of you are taking the proper steps to ensure your online safety. ![]()
