2 factor authentication adds a whole second layer to your login. So you need a code plus password to authenticate from an untrusted location. If you look under security settings you can get more details.

sorry for the delay.... I just got home from work.

I don't know what 2-factor auth is so I may have accidentally enabled it. How do I check that? WHy do you so highly recommend it, Stephen?

As for the priority inbox/social media thing....  my primaryinbox never changed when google changed their page. My business email  did change though. It didn't affect me so I thought nothing of it
