Thanks for this. I actually never thought of it that way. I never used the two step authentication because I didn't want to give gmail or hotmail my phone number only for it to be spammed and robo-called like crazy as I'm not sure how secure their system is for phone numbers if the emails get hacked like they do. However I suppose that would be a small inconvenience compared to someone having full access to all my information via my email and changing it all and trying to recover it as I have switched to primarily online for most of my business and banking needs.
I've now got it for both my email addresses.
