Here's something from theguardian.com "Do the two-step If someone can access your Gmail account, they can change your password and lock you out. You can prevent this by using “two-step verification”. With Gmail, this usually means Google will text a code to your mobile phone. This is fine until you don’t have a signal or lose your phone. Gmail therefore asks for a back-up phone number. (Landlines work: you get a voice message.) Gmail also allows you to print out a small set of verification numbers that you can use when travelling." So you're all set up! (:
