Hello

Could someone tell me, please:


1.  what is the point of two step verification?

  this method lets your account be accessed by backup codes
  a backup code contains a string of 8 digits (all numbers).  
  say your actual password is more than 8 digits (numbers and letters).
  your password is much more secure than the backup code.

so hacker has easier time to hack your account by focusing on backup codes 
than your password
sure, backup codes are one time codes.  but hacker only needs it one time 
too.

so how can this be more secure?  what am i missing?


2.  how does google determine that a computer is a trusted one ?
     can't someone replica the cookie that google gives your browser?
     is it more than just the cookie that google uses to identify trusted 
computer?  like IP also?  something else too?  What?


Thanks very much for whoever can help !
Have a great day!
