Two Factor Authentication by Google

Modified on Thu, 27 Sep 2018 at 06:41 PM

Overview

Add an extra layer of protection to your account with 2-Step Verification by Google, also known as Two-Factor Authentication.



Two-step verification uses both your password and an extra security code to verify your identity whenever you sign in to your account. If someone else tries to access your account, even if they can guess your password, they still won’t be able to get in without using two-step verification.

Two-step authentication is one of the best ways to prevent unauthorized access to your account. Follow the directions below to know how to do it.
