​Between its being very late here in CA with little sleep the night before *and* because I don't fully understand about recovery phones, etc., I now don't know what I meant other than for *me*, when I signed up for 2-step verif. on one particular computer, *I* was going to use only the first layer of protection (password). I understood that when I, or anyone else, tried to access my account from another computer, a verif. code would also be required. I also understood that the verif. code would be sent to be via my landline phone number or cellphone. However, neither can be verified. I have been told that the verif. code comes by way of an SMS, which requires texting capability. Here is where I now realize I am confused. I am mixing this up (getting verif. codes) with verifying my landline or cell numbers in case I have problems with my Google account. Don't I need verification of either or both phones for both purposes?
I have to stop now because my brain is spaghetti. *~D.* On Sun, Jul 19, 2015 at 12:46 AM, Kenneth Ayers <[email protected]> wrote: > You say that you don't recall saying that you don't need account recovery > options.
