That is the step they made me go through before I could resign onto my account. Not sure I want a phone call every time I want to sign on. I will have to think about that, however it does make sense. I was just shocked to have this happen. So maybe the inconvenience would be worth it. They had me also go into a screen showing sessions on my email account. I could see the China connection as plain as day as one of the sessions. That is when they had me sign out and sign back in under the 2 step verification. I was also forced to change my password to something in the Strong category.
By the way, all, my Disk Warrior was NOT frozen. It finally finished. Now I will see if my computer speed improves. I could not believe it would take that long to repair the permissions, but apparently it did.
