2 Step Verification

HOW TO ENABLE 2 STEP VERIFICATION

With 2-Step Verification (also known as two-factor authentication), you add an extra layer of security to your account in case your password is stolen. After you set up 2-Step Verification, you’ll sign in to your account in two steps using:

• Something you know, like your password

• Something you have, like your phone

TURN ON 2 STEP VERIFICATION

1. Open your Google Account.

2. In the navigation panel, select Security.

3. Under “Signing in to Google,” select 2-Step Verification Get started.

4. Follow the on-screen steps.

Your account, username@gmail.com, is associated with your work or school. If you can’t set up 2-Step Verification, contact your administrator.

VERIFY ITS YOU

After you turn on 2-Step Verification, you’ll need to complete a second step to verify it’s you when you sign in. To help protect your account, Google will request that you complete a specific second step.
