Google 2 Factor Authentication Failing

Suddenly, 2 factor authentication service for Google devices seems to have failed, more than a year after being used. The first inclination of a failure came as warning. Device authentication , password expiration and login-error failures. Taking this as a cue to change my password, and update my device authentication, I proceeded to do all these things and got a short reprieve.

But a minute after logging in, the errors re-occurred again. I then reset the phone, cleaned up the authentication on Google Apps and started all over again. Once again, I got another 1 minute reprieve before the three errors appeared again.

Now, I am convinced this is a failure of the 2 factor authentication. I will investigate this further, as time permits and leave posts my findings on this page....

  1. Is this a game of main or many? Why many people been hacked but still without be awaring the risk? Or is it because they don't know how to do or they are so numb of this? Are these varies authentication work? I am just curious about how the experts doing with all these problems which many many end users suffered. We can't "stop eating because afraid of choking", well, take the risk.

Obama : The Country We Believe In

A speech by The President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, on April 13, 2011 at Goerge Washington University... Good afternoon.  It’s great to be back at GW.  I want you to know that one of the reasons I kept the government open was so I could be here today with all of you.  I wanted to make sure you had one more excuse to skip class.  You’re welcome.
