We too are seeing an increase in compromised Gmail accounts.  With the
compromise limited to the Gmail side (e.g. we have the credentials trying
to be used against other services).  We also have not yet turned on
two-factor authentication for our Google Apps domain and would be hearing
feedback.

All,

We are being hit with a number of compromised student Gmail accounts. We
have not yet turned on two-factor authentication for our Google Apps
domain. Has anyone here enabled this feature? Did users take to it? Was it
mandatory or optional? How extensive was your campaign and communications
to end-users? Were there major caveats, issues, etc? Has anyone implemented
other solutions to combat this (or similar) issues?
