After logging in on my computer, a message is sent to my cell phone to verify that it's me. I can't find that capability or any list of devices on my phone, though. Unless I'm misunderstanding you somehow?

On edit: Checking the settings on my computer and verifying that 2-step authentication is turned on, I did find a list of "signed in devices" that is correct: current phone, PC, and Chromebook. I have also changed my password three times so far this year, so there's that.

Those T-Mobile phones apparently no longer have access. I'd still like to know how they got on there in the first place, though!
