I use bluemail to access my gmail accounts.  I do this because I don't 
want to download email to my phone automatically, which gmail didn't 
seem to offer any way to opt out of.  Will this be a problem?

Two-factor authentication, right?  Is the text-code-to-your-phone method 
the only way of doing this?

BUT google's messages seem to say that passwords will no longer work 
with google apps.  WTF?  Google's website offers no enlightenment.

I resent being made to jump through hoops (opening an account in order 
to ask a manufacturer a simple question about one of their products, for 
example) in order to do things whose security is irrelevant.  This seems 
like an even bigger nuisance.

Perhaps I should already know this stuff, but given the fact that most 
of what I do I could post on a billboard with no problems, exactly WHO 
am I protecting with all this crap?  </rant>
