Enable 2-Step Verification on Your Google Account

What is 2-Step Verification?

2-Step Verification adds an extra layer of protection to your Google account. When enabled, your cell phone will be sent a login code that you will need to provide as part of your Google account’s login process. As a result, even if someone else has your Google password, that person will not be able to access your Google account without your cell phone. The Tech department encourages staff to consider turning on this verification to avoid account compromise.
