paddypower Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I'm using Win 11 on a Surface Pro 6. I am planning to do a back up and clean instal. but first, I thought I would check are my problems common, since they have only arisen within the past month or so. I have several gmail accounts - one private and the other for public use. I have selected 2 step verification for my private gmail account. But - I do not want it to automatically default to that system on my secondary accounts. What can I do? thanks. the 2nd issue, very recently, is to do with Facebook. Every lime i log on, i am asked for a 2 step verification, altho' that is a function that I did not select. in addition, when i go to Messenger, it requests me to sync my messages, by inputting a pass code (which displays boxes for 6 keystrokes. my PIN is 4 keystrokes, so how do i go about resetting the Messenger pass code?? would be very grateful for advice re: this.

I will give you a glimpse of the Road to Hell: my wife is 82. passport is from 2017. 2 part verification scanning software does not recognize her today, as the same face that had when she was 75. Seriously, her country of birth refuses to communicate with her other than by a digital mail app which uses this system. In the future - we. are. all.

In Full Agreement Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Good luck in finding a resolution. It almost sounds like using a lawyer would be a reasonable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusNo8 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Ties your phone number which could easily be traced to your name, ID to your email accounts. Sign up for email? Give your phone#. Many devices using bt now require location as well. Same rubbish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billd766 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 I use both Facebook and Gmail and there is no requirement for a second verification on either, at least for me, plus 'my location' is always switched OFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. Facebook and most others can use one of the authenticator apps, which work on most mobile devices, SIM card installed or not. Multi factor authentication is a HUGE benefit.
