Diane, I am sure I will print out those codes one day if I am traveling or something. What is nice about the authenticator app over a text message is the authenticator app does not rely on cell service or data service on the phone. It is a standalone app that randomly creates codes for me based o

I just did a Google Search for "Gmail Support" and the first link was the Gmail Help Page (https://support.google.com/mail/?hl=en#topic=3394144). That page offers lots of helpful links. On the right side of that page is a link that says Help Forum ( https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/g

I have no idea what the "Authenticator app" is and don''t think I want to know, Jeff, if you can recall everything I went through regarding 2SV before I got the smartphone. Why do you use that instead of, for ex., printing out verif. codes that are sent you by Google when you opt for them? *~Dian

And if you do search for 'gmail support' do you then find any real support? Where you can ask a real question to a real person? All the links I get send you around in circles. So you really think that someone who is pissed and looking for support for a long time will even bother to search for an
