Hi, Andy: I need to clarify. I just read again what is involved: "Google can call your cell or landline phone with your verification code." My landline phone's number is already part of my personal info or profile or whatever it is *but hasn't been "verified"*. *That *(phone no. verif.) is what I was trying to accomplish, which apparently is required before proceeding with setting up 2-step verif. I assumed once that number was verified, I could then continue with setting up 2-step verif, and Google could then call with a verification code.
*Important: I left writing this post for a moment and tried something. I went to the "Start setup" page, and there, again, was my landline number but without the requirement to verify it. I saw that I could proceed with having a code sent to me. Looks like I'm able to proceed.* But, first, I still want to hear from others about (1) whether or not they use this feature and (2) how important they feel it is to useit because I have had no security problems. Is it really worth setting up the extra protection? *~Diane* On Thu, Jul 16, 2015 at 6:06 PM, Andy <[email protected]> wrote: > I think (I thought) you need to use a cellphone with 2-step verification. > > Andy > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Gmail-Users" group.
