comment Is there any technical security reason not to buy the cheapest SSL certificate you can find?
Update: Thanks to Andy Smith's comment, above, I went with the free basic domain validation certificate from startssl.com. The request process, and delivery, everything, worked as expected. But I must say that their web interface was exceedingly slow and clunky. But the certificate is recognized in 99% of all browsers, like certs from most CAs.

Anecdotally, I've had good luck choosing channel 11 in congested areas. Don't know why that is.

comment Password resets - what practices should web services follow?
But be ready for the more cumbersome steps at the end, wherein you generate a separate password of 16 random lowercase characters for each non-browser app that will access your Gmail account, e.g, Outlook. So the more apps you have accessing your Google account, the less likely you'd be to ever change your Google password.

I just now set up the 2-factor authentication settings offered by google at the link you provided. It is an excellent system, with an easy set up process: SMS to your phone for a one-time code for authorizing an unknown computer to access your Google credentials, etc.
