Installing a new rom and 2 google step verification


DaQue

Recommended Posts

I have a newbie question. There has got to be a proper way of logging in to Google with new rom install after a factory reset with 2 step verification turned on. I type in my gmail  user name and password and it sends the 2 step verification code to the phone as a sms message but I don't see any way to exit the screen and view the code. I finally used some recovery codes I printed out a while back. After I get  past this point I can then go see the sms with the code I no longer need.  Is that the only way to handle this snafu?

I have my Google Voice number set up as an alternate number. When I don't get the code via SMS, I tell it I'm having problems receiving the code and it lets me select my alternate number. Then I go to my computer and use my GV chrome extension to get the code. Usually I'm at or near my computer when I'm flashing a ROM anyway, so it works well for me.

Next time I get a new phone I will have to have a app password set up if I am to let the dealer set it up. I won't have a PC handy to get er done as Larry the cable guy says.

I don't ever let them setup my phone. Activate it and I am good.

I usually wait and log in to google after I have gone through the initial setup.

 

This avoids the whole 2 step verification, and prevents all my previous apps from auto-downloading.

 

in other words, when it first asks you to log in to google, hit skip.
