that's the thing: I don't understand how the parts fit together; what is the connection between:
(1) 2-step auth (2) app-specific pwI would have thought method (1) is good for getting back on board if you lose your pw.
method (2) just seems like using a pw like one always does except it's handed to you.
I may go empirical and try to cancel 2-step and see. I'd rather learn from others. fjd -- Davis Verbum sat sapienti.
