Google Password Protected Myself…From Me.
Moving to China I thought it would be prudent to set up the 2-step login on Google.
Security first.
I’m in a new country and I don’t know how the internet works or if it is encrypted.
So, I did what I could and set up the 2-step log in before I left America.
I tried it before I left and it worked perfectly.
When I logged in with my iPhone and my computer,
Google called me with a specific code number.
I entered it into my iPhone or computer.
And I was able to read my emails and do whatever I needed to do.
Then I arrived in China.
I tried to login at a new computer and this is what happened.
Google called my international Skype number.
I answered.
I got ready to start typing in the code,
and,
I started hearing Mandarin.
Okay, this shouldn’t be that big of a deal.
Except I don’t know how to count in Mandarin.
I listened, started laughing, and decided I didn’t need to use Google mail right this instant.
In my desire to be safe and secure,
I made sure that I did the right thing,
