But whether or not they do that for Gmail's 2-Step Verification process, that's the question. And of course Google must know that it is a landline, not capable of SMS, so you need to provide that information to them. Or maybe Gmail's procedure with landlines is broken.

Earlier, Diane asked if fellow Gmail users use the 2-Step Verification process. I do not, because I access my Gmail only from computers that I know are reasonably secure. On the other hand, if I used someone else's computer, or an unknown computer in a library or an Internet cafe, then I would want to use the 2-Step process. That is the kind of situation it was designed for. Andy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Gmail-Users" group.
