Can I use Obi with Google Voice without giving my password?

<< < (3/3)

giqcass:
I used an application specific password and set My OBi up manually in order to reduce exposure.  As was said earlier the application specific password can be used elsewhere but it does allow you to delete a device if the password is ever compromised.  I see that as a big plus.  Many people use the same password over and over on different services which makes it easy to compromise their other accounts as well.

A Google account for Obi and Google Voice however is the safest option.  You can always have all email sent to that account forwarded to your regular email account.

It would be nice if the Obi allowed 2 step verification but there are also a lot of caveats to that system with a device like the Obi.

You can never eliminate all risk you can only reduce it.   ;)
