What is 2-Step Verification?

Multi-factor authentication (also Two-factor authentication) is an approach to authentication which requires the presentation of two or more of the three authentication factors: a knowledge factor ("something the user knows"), a possession factor ("something the user has"), and an inherence factor ("something the user is").

Yes, I do use 2 step verification for my 2 Google accounts. But now, really I am too drunk to go on explaining the benefits for me and I will go play some W.O.T!
Have a great day tomorrow, I know that today was my day!

nope, it is already tiring to put one ^^ (that is why i use Lastpass)

I always use it if available. Gmail and LastPass are good example, if you try to log on to Google from a different IP address or system, it will call or text you with a verification code which has to be entered for you to log on.

LastPass requires you to enter two passwords if using it from another IP or system.

Awhile back when Gmail got hacked, users that setup the 2-Step Verification were safe while others had to change their password.

It not only protects you from malware that records your info but also when websites get hacked.

Thanks.

i never do sensitive stuff on "foreign" systems.

I have it on anything that supports it. I would like to think myself as paranoid when it comes to that part of security. Happened to friends on Facebook, they got hacked and well I didn't. Only thing I got was a weird message from a friend.

Well if needed for more maximum security why not. As long you have strong passwords with standard formulation then good to go but always remember that being vigilant is your primary defense/instinct.

Yup use it whenever available, so far using it for Gmail and Battle.net .

I'm always using 2-Step Verification, and I do think that it's a "must" for all those sites which involve personal or financial information.
I have used for the first time 2-Step Verification for my Gmail account, and now whenever is available , I always opt-in.....

I use it on my Steam account.
