Hi, If you set up the Two-Step verification on the web-interface of Google, then it will be applied to any device you use when logging into your Gmail account. As long as you supplied the necessary contact info, i.e., phone number that Google could SMS a Verification code to, it should just work. So, for example, when you go to log into gMail on your Mac, Google should instantly send you a text with the proper verification code. It’s usually a six digit numeric code and the gMail web-interface will not let you go on without entering that code first. After you enter the code, you should be good on that machine for about 30 days before it asks for a verification code again. There are some instances that ask for an App Specific password, but, we’ll deal with that if it comes up for you.

However, I discovered yesterday that someone had tried to get into my googlemail account. I went through my security settings, changed my password etc, but then found the bit on 2-step verification. With a bit of fiddling I managed to get it set up on my IPad and registered as a "trusted computer". However, I then couldn't find out how to get it set up on/to trust my IPhone and Mac. So if anyone would be able to send me some step-by-step fairly idiot-proof instructions on how to get it set up on all 3 devices I'd be most grateful?! At present I have disabled it so will be starting from scratch in the case of all 3 machines. Many thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.
