What will happen to the google's 2-step verification when/if 1password is installed? Is there a potential conflict that will cause me lots of time ?

    Hi @sasha

    I'm not aware of any inherent conflict between Google's 2-step process and 1Password. The problem I found with it is that many / most 3rd party apps/services that use Google for authentication (and even some of Google's own stuff) had not been updated to support TFA, at the time I tried it. As such I ended up having to create a bunch of application specific passwords, which bypass the TFA. My feeling was that one secure password generated by 1Password was stronger than having TFA on but bypassable by a bunch of different "application specific" passwords.

    Thanks.
