So, I have a question about Gmails two-step authentication. (Im not sure whos reading whod know this, but maybe Daniel Martin would?) Mobile devices cant handle two-step authentication, so my mobile phone, for instance, has its own special login that has a long, elaborate, extremely secure password. Is there anything on Googles end that recognizes my specific device as part of this aspect of security, or could some dude in Nigeria type out that super long super complicated password and log in as me and try to scam my friends (again)? In other words, when I go through changing all my passwords due to Heartbleed, do I need to change the device-specific password for my Gmail, or would capturing those passwords not do anyone any good (or was there some other security feature that would make this data useless to anyone exploiting Heartbleed?)
