Sometimes it gives me the creeps to think that my Google Account, the main and only one, has been working and collecting my data since 2004. Since the days when Gmail invites were worth their weight in gold. especially about the value of my account, I remember typing the cherished login and password on someone else's computer or in an Internet club during my travels.
Google has figured out how to get into your Gmail without entering passwords on an "enemy" computer. To do this, you will need someone else's computer unauthorized in your Google account (I experimented in Google Chrome in incognito mode), a smartphone or phone with a QR code reader installed and Internet access. Here's how it works.
1. On the computer, go to the address accounts.google.com/sesame . You will see a large QR code and some kind of appeal from Google, which should be ignored.
2. Scan this code with your phone. It is better to use a reader that redirects from the system browser, rather than opening a web fragment in the program. I use the i-nigma reader, which works on everything I've held in my hands. Download here clck.ru/qr . Google Account must be authorized in the browser. If not, enter your username and password.
3. You will see this screen on the phone screen:
4. Press here Start with Gmail and Gmail authorized by your account will be automatically launched in the browser on your computer.
The main thing is that you did not have to enter a password on an unfamiliar computer — you do not risk with a keylogger that may be there. Next, your Gmail works over an encrypted HTTPS channel.
Profit!
