Multi-forward not as efficient as I'd want! #25

Every time I want to multi-forward emails, I keep getting the message that I have to authenticate it! Why do I have to keep doing this - ?! I live in a very poor phone reception area. I have the 2-step verification method which means I have to leave my house and walk up the road to do anything with my 'phone, including getting text messages with the six-digit verification code. Sometimes, the code is not immediate which mens by the time I get back to my chromebook, the authentication facility - has expired. I have the box ticked 'do not ask on this computer again' but that seems to do absolutely nothing at all. I have the multi-forward facility affiliated to two of my email boxes, and both of them ask me to authenticate multi-forward, each time I want to send emails. PLEASE HELP!!

Not a fix, I am no developer by any means, but a workaround for your situation would be using a unique MFA device, or a virtual MFA application (on like a smart phone, tablet, etc something that connects to wifi)

go to google.com/2step on your chromebook (not sure if I can link URLs here), and select the "Google Authenticator" method, subsequently you should open the authenticator app on your device, scan the barcode, and use codes from here now on, rather than sms codes.

I wish I had a bony clue about what you just advised. See, this is why my friends call me a 'techno-doofus.' Or worse...

...WHAT?
