Add a Layer of Security to Your Google Account with Google 2-Step Verification

by mtraphagen | Aug 1, 2011 | Google

Google has instituted an opt-in 2-step verification process that could protect your Google account even if someone gets your password. Here’s the nutshell on how it works:

  1. You sign up for Google 2-step verification.
  2. Every time you sign in to your Google account from a device (computer, iPhone, etc.) for the first time after signing up for 2-SV, Google will send a code to your cell phone. Enter the code where you’re signing in, and you’re good for at least 30 days on that device.
  3. Now if someone hacks your Google account and tries to sign in from an unauthorized computer, they can’t (unless you were so unlucky that they stope your phone at the same time!). Plus you’ll know someone is trying to break into your account because you’ll get an authorization code text message on your phone.

Google has plenty of nifty backup options as well for this. You get a set of “break glass in case of emergency” codes you can print out and keep in your wallet. You can also designate a backup phone to receive your login code should you lose your primary phone.

To set up Google 2-Step Verification, go to your Google account page and look for the “Using 2-step verification” link under Personal Settings. To get more details about Google 2-Step Verification, visit this Google help page.

Testimonials

“Major increase”

Our website was achieving poor results in the major search engines and receiving very little traffic. Soon after working with Hive Digital we saw a major increase in the number of unique visitors to our website and subscribers to our e-newsletter, Email Marketing Chronicle. There's no way we could have increased our traffic this quickly without the help of Hive Digital.

“Internet marketing geniuses”

I learned more from them in an hour than from every book I devoured and every seminar I attended on the subject this year. Anyone who knows their team, knows them as internet marketing geniuses.

“Savvy and talented”

Hive is a boutique team but extremely experienced, savvy and talented. Jake and team are quite skilled in the area of technical SEO and are a TAG favorite for projects that require veteran experience and true technical precision. I've referred them several projects in the past, all achieved great success. I fully trust that Jake and his team will give you the clarity, transparency and communication that you've been missing.
