Point of clarification re Two Factor Identification, Trusted Number, should the trusted number be your cell phone or someone else’s number (ie my hubby who I am travelling with)?
Makes sense. I will change that info. Thx for the article. I am forwarding it to my travelling friends. BTW I use a reinforced lanyard attached securely under my phone case and wear my cell around my neck when I travel. This works well for extra protection from thieves and clumsy travellers!
Hi Toby, you should use someone else’s number, preferably the person you are traveling with! You’ll need to get and apply 2FA codes as quickly as possible.
Hi Jeremy, glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I do not own an Android phone so I cannot speculate on the specific settings for this operating system. Sorry!
I have a problem with 2 step authentication. It essentially locked me out of my Gmail account when the phone I was using died and I couldn't access the email account to verify myself.
Karen by “died” I assume you don’t just mean that your phone was temporarily out of juice. Were you able to address the issue using a laptop or tablet?
Such a good reminder for travelers! 🌏 I’m a Japanese woman who loves traveling, and I’m always curious about the little things people do to stay safe abroad.
What’s the one travel safety tip you never leave home without?
This is fantastic, Chris--thank you! I shared with my whole family.
Glad to hear you found it useful!

This is great can it be 'translated' for Android phone users?
