Trying to log into Google on a new system.
They want to send a verification code to my phone. OK.
I go outside to check my phone (can't have a phone in this building). I never get the code, but I get a notice that SOMEONE HAS MY PASSWORD!
Duh. Yeah. Me. 
Send the code to the phone again. Go outside. Nope. No code shows up, but I get another notice. On the phone. The phone they can't seem to send a verification code to.
"Want to try another method?"
Sure. The choices are Send a code to the phone, Call the phone, or Tap on the phone.
So I click the "Can't use your phone?" link.
Which takes me to a page telling me to use my phone to log in...
Did they miss the part about the phone not being the most convenient method at the moment?

Why have you not configured Authenticator yet? You can get that from Play store. No need for phones after that.

Had a similar problem recently. The system took more than 15 minutes to email or text me the code and the code lasted only 15 minutes. It wasn't fun.

Apparently beef stew is not an effective remedy for man-flu because its just not stroganof.

Have a look at Spamnesty[^].
You might turn it into entertainment.

The bot is a bit repetitive, but that's a damn fine idea! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Spam, electronic: just delete it and ignore it; its like the kid that says, "Hey, watch this!" If you watch, they know they have an audience
Spam, the 'food': uh... not gonna try it; my oldest brother was a meat cutter and after touring a meat processing factory, he stopped eating 'prepared' animal products

Wonderful.

Reading the back a d forths is interesting. It'll be neat if they can get the robot to scan the email better and create more detailed responses. Its a great innovative idea.

Yes, let's turn Code Project into Stack Overflow.

How is that turning CP into stackoverflow?

I read part of the chain of comments and stopped since it reminded me of the bad aspects of Stack Overflow. If you aren't going to sincerely help, why bother commenting at all?

I gave him all the code he asked for, and it does exactly what he said it needed to do. How much more helpful could I gave been?

Oh look, an opportunity has presented itself...

And I will again strive to be as helpful as I have been today.
