Rate this Post:


In the yesterday's post we have seen a lots of Google products and you may amazed by seeing such use full products.  I said all you need to access these products is, one single Gmail user ID & Password.
We may use strong and secure password but it may be hacked by lots ways, one simple example I given in the previous post is using Keylogging softwares.

There is more for you to protect your digital world in Google Products.
One more security provided by the Google to strengthen the misuse of genuine users information is      2-step verification. With this feature, only password is not enough for logging-in in the Google products. If you activate this feature, then every time you log - in you receive an automated phone call or text message to your registered mobile to deliver highly secured One Time Password (O T P). By entering this OTP then only you can log – in to your G mail or any other Google Products.
This is very good feature by Google and for Google users.
Follow the below procedure to activate the 2-Step Verification:

  • Log - In  to your G mail account
  • Click on Settings-->Accounts and Import tab as shown below
 
  • In the Accounts & Import tab click on Other Google Account Settings
  • A new window will pop - up, on that window click on the Security tab
  • On Password column click on the Settings of 2-step verification.
  • A new window will pop - up, on that window click on the Start Setup.
  • Step 1: On set your phone window Select your country and then type your mobile number.
  • Select either Text message or Voice Call method to receive you code, then click send code
  • step 2: you will receive a Text Message or Voice call based on you choice. Enter the received code in proper area then click Verify
  • step 3: Now select weather the computer your working now is trusted one or not, so that you need not to get the OTP every time you are working on that trusted computer. If the PC not trusted then un-check on Trust this Computer. then press Next.
  • step 4: Press on the confirm button if every thing is right, else go back and modify.
Now you activated the 2- step verification for your mail successfully . You can add multiple number as Back up Numbers in case to receive OTP on other numbers. You can edit your primary number.
You can even take Backup codes and store or take print of them if you are traveling.

Now on words you will receive a OTP every time you Log - In to your any Google products.
Hope this will help you.
