Re: [orca-list] youtube-viewer login question

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

OK, I think I understand now.

I have two suggestions ...

1.)     Whenever I find myself unsure of tightly focussing what I want
in my clipboard, I simply select all, then copy into gedit.

        I'vefound gedit needs to be already running, or it seems unable
        to accept a paste.

                From there I can examine and edit as needed, then return
                only the content I want to the clipboard at which point
                I go t to the application that needs the input and
                paste.

                        I've even edited in a console session sometimes,
                        using xclip to paste back into the clipboard.

                        2.)     All of this may be unnecessary if you
                        enable Google two-factor authentication. I've
                        been using this for well over a year, maybe even
                        over two years now, and I'm quite pleased with
                        the service.

                                I have my authentication setup to give
                                me a voice call, when Google's algos
                                believe they need to authenticate me.
                                The automated voice reads out a 6 digit
                                code I type into the edit box--that the
                                browser has already focussed. Works like
                                a charm.

                                        Alternatively, you can have sms
                                        text sent to your smart phone.

                                                Or, the latest method, A
                                                popup toast message on
                                                your phone asks whether
                                                that's you logging in,
                                                and you simply tap the
                                                button to say "yes."
                                                Also works very well for
                                                me.

                                                I've found dual factor
                                                rarely asks for
                                                authentication when
                                                requests come in from my
                                                same ip address.


                                                I strongly recommend
                                                dual factor as it makes
                                                things both more secure
                                                and less cumbersome. I
                                                hope it's an option for
                                                your situation.
