Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I originally moved to Google from Yahoo because they had the two part authentification - password plus messaged authentification number. Since then it has changed to simply recognising me through my device's signatures & the password set by me. It's always a hassle when I resurrect a device not used for months. I get request emails to my back up accounts asking if it is me.

What happens if someone loses their phone, or gets their number ported away maliciously (SIM card hack) ?
