The second factor auth can live in a cookie for 30 days. Since I use the same two computers all the time, I only have to pull out the 2factor authenticator app every couple of weeks. Not a big deal. I am really, really happy to have 2factor auth for my gmail account. In retrospect, I think it's crazy I hadn't set it up before.
