I've started using Gmail 2 step verification. &nbsp;It works fine from home and also from the office (the latter being the case only if I use Internet explorer). <br />
<br />
If I use the latest version of Firefox, I keep getting asked to enter my Google Authenticator password which I obtain from my iPhone app. &nbsp;The problem is, even though I typing it in correctly, it keeps looping or throws me back to the login screen.<br />
<br />
I am based in London but work for a Spanish company where my connection (possibly) goes via Madrid. &nbsp;I know that the gmail authenticator codes are calculated I believe on location and time, but I cant understand why it works only on IE in the office and not Firefox. &nbsp;Any suggestions?<br />
<br />
Also, to make matters worse, when I try and use any of the other Gmail verification techniques, it wants to use my backup phone to send a text msg to, which is my wife's phone. &nbsp;I dont understand why it doesnt want to use MY main phone.<br />
<br />
Thx.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
