If you've checked this box to stop two-factor verification prompts, and then you lose your device or your device is potentially compromised, you should turn the two-factor verification prompts back on to help protect your account. Unfortunately, you can't turn the prompts back on for a single device. You must turn the prompts on for all of your devices at the same time.
