Enable Google 2-Step Verification

Enable Google 2-Step Verification

Google offers an additional layer of log-in protection called 2-step verification (2SV), a multi-factor authentication measure. When Google 2SV is active, you’ll log in with your usual credentials, but you will also be prompted to verify yourself using one of the options Google offers.

  1. Activate 2-step verification using the following link: ACTIVATE

  2. Consult Google's directions on setting up trusted devices with 2-step verification.
