May 5, 20178 yr DFRESH, nice. However, the Google Authenticator seems to push downloading a mobile app. Is there not a way to simply have it email me the code to close the two-factor loop? I'm not always near my phone is why I ask...You're mom has a two factor loop. Bah I'm retarded. I don't even know what that means. That makes no sense. I'm sorry. I immediately regret my decision to chug that milk. Awhhh. Awful. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

It's nothing but a security measure to help protect your account in the event you were hacked. If you enabled it, every time you log in, it would then ask you to verify your identity via other means (email, app on phone, etc.). The idea being that they might have hacked your password to baseops but not your email/phone. But, keep on using abc123 as your password for everything. I hear that was the password Hillary used on her server, and that thing was impenetrable. Usually you can set a time out window (ex. 30 days) until you need to verify again.
