You should pay attention to how many "non-idiot" users have had their Gmail accounts compromised.

And using two factor auth is easier than remembering a long, truly unique password. (Though if you're not using LastPass, stop what you're doing and go install it. Just freaking do it.)



Does anyone know how many times failed logins Gmail tolerates? Do they use brute force or just manual guessing?

If they limit them to a few failed logins a day or hour and show you the failed logins it's hard to guess even if you have it jeff(3-4numbers)
