That could be a problem if your phone is ever stolen, you will have a lot of charges with downloads & who knows what else, it sounds like to me those people who can't remember their password, should just write it down somewhere.

Awesome. THIS is what I want to see, not a phone stretched in MS Paint and sold at 2x the price(cough, iPhone). Keep going Google.

I use Two-Factor Authentication across a lot of my accounts. I feel a lot more secure when I can telesign into my account. If you have that option available to you use it, it is worth the time and effort to have the confidence that your account won't get hacked and your personal information isn't up for grabs. If you opt into 2FA, you will have to "Confirm your phone". You would receive a text message with a specific code to be entered into the system. If you don't want to do this every single time, you can designate your smartphone, PC, or tablet as a trusted device and they will allow you to telesign in without the text code. Should an attempt to login from an unrecognized device happen, it would not be allowed.
