To simplify my life: What should my cookies settings be for 2-step verif.? The link you provided me says I can set my browser [Chrome] to save cookies or add that exception i included in my earlier post just below. I have no clue what to do! Will Chrome "save cookies" if I *unchec*k "Cookies and other site and plugin data" (whatever all those are)?
