Title: Best way to do 2 factor authentication AND remotely locate android device Post by: PurpleHairyClimber on December 09, 2014, 12:22:11 AM Not sure if this is the right place for this. Please direct me, if you know a better spot.
I want to start using 2 factor authentication with my google account and with my blockchain wallet. I want to be able to use Android device locator to find my Android phone if it is lost or stollen and lock down the device or erase the data. If I have 2 factor authentication enabled, I will not be able to log in to Android device locator without physical access to my phone already. I can add my personal computers as "trusted" computers, that is true, but I don't think that is the most secure option, as someone could get physical access to the machine or it could become infected with malware. I can and will keep a physical account restore code printed out and safe, but I want to be able to locate my phone away if I am away from home to quickly assess if there has been a security breach or if the phone is stuck in a couch cushion or something. My question: Does anyone use third party Android device locators/lockdown/erasers to combat this potential problem? Any other ideas on working around this limitation?
