Is there a way to set up two-step without a phone?
- cube13 15y agoGoogle provides a set of numerical codes for you to print out and store in case you lose your phone. They're all one-time use, and allow you to get in and change the settings.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoDoes that mean that if ANY of them are used, the rest are invalidated? Or just that any one of them may be used once?
- cube13 15y agoYou get 10 codes per generation(and can regenerate them whenever you want), and each code can be used once.
- zecho 15y agoYou can use an alternate number to have a text message sent to you and there are printable one-time pads. The one-time pads have come in handy for me, because I always let the battery on my phone die.
- bjcubsfan 15y agoIn addition to the one time pad, you can specify other phone numbers. The system will call these phones and read the code aloud.
- JBiserkov 15y agoThe recommended way is to use the Google Authenticator app - available on Android, iOS, and BlackBerry devices - doesn't require an Internet connection, mobile service, or a data plan to generate verification codes. http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=1066447 http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=...
