My Yes/No Google Prompt for 2FA is slow, what can I do?
The prompt may not be slow all the time. It is depended on many factors. Here are some suggestions and recommendations.
Try opening the app it is requesting you to open on your mobile.
Then if it is still slow you could select try another way and find a backup code to use. Not recommended yet- This is your only option when you don't have your phone, but in this case you do.
We would recommend that you also setup the Google Authenticator app.
Now when the prompt is slow or not working which can happen, you can select try another way and use Get a verification code from the the Google Authenticator app.

The Power of Extensions
Extensions knits itself into your browser.
It sees all the traffic your generating before it gets encrypted and it sees all the stuff that comes back into your browser after it is decrypted
Anything like HTTPS or TLS encryption is irrelevant to the extension. It's inside your browser and it kind of has equivalent power to your browser
Be Very very conservative about the stuff you plug into your browser to give extra functionality.

Listen to your voice of reason
Scammers use mail, email, phone calls, texting as ways to get you to divulge information. You will be the one that struggles to verify their TRUE identity. Why not just let unknown numbers or unexpected business calls go to voicemail.
When you answer a call and interact with the voice prompt or by pressing a number, it lets spammers know your number is real. They can then sell your number to another company or begin targeting your number more frequently. The same is true when you respond to a text that you can't identity. Never assume because the number appears local that it really is local.
