    AT> I was wrong. I can't do that. It said "You're trying to log in on an

    AT> have my phone with me. There was a button that said "Try another way.."   
    AT> but that literally was a fake button and it didn't do anything.   
      
    AT> So Google is trying to teach guys like me a lesson: "Take your phone

   This isn't a conspiracy but a security feature that prevents others from   
   accessing your email account.  In the case of google, I don't remember for   
   sure, but the "Try another way" probably only works if you have set up   
   another verification contact method for your gmail account.  If you only   
   gave it a phone number to text you at, there are no "another ways" left for   
   it to try.   
      
      
      
   ... Tell me, is something eluding you, Sunshine?
