Why you need it
It's easier than you think for someone to steal your password
Any of these common actions could put you at risk of having your password stolen:
Using the same password on more than one site
Downloading software from the Internet
Clicking on links in email messages
2-Step Verification can help keep bad people out, even if they have your password.
How it works
Signing in to your account will work a little differently
You'll enter your password
Whenever you sign in to Google, you'll enter your password as usual.You'll be asked for something else
Then, a code will be sent to your phone via text, voice call, or our mobile app. Or, if you have a Security Key, you can insert it into your computer’s USB port.
How it protects you
An extra layer of security
Most people only have one layer – their password – to protect their account. With 2-Step Verification, if a bad person hacks through your password layer, they'll still need your phone or Security Key to get into your account.
