I don't consider myself an expert at Gmail, but I have a number of accounts for various blog needs and such. A longtime reader mentioned the instance described below.
The tip today is related to travel and access to your Gmail account. It is fairly common for Gmail to require additional information under the guise of security when you log-in at a new city and perhaps on a new device. The primary thing they ask for is a phone number. Some people do not want their personal cell number anywhere in the social media world, or anywhere they feel the company might be operating something unscrupulous.
Resolution, other an awaiting until you get back home on your primary device, is to create a backup or additional account. Then in the security settings bind the accounts so you will have a safe secure method to be used for Account verifications such as this or for password changes should you ever forget your password.
