Network security is extremely important today. Hackers are increasingly finding more cunning ways to get hold of our personal information . That is why Google is going to mandatory two-step verification on your mobile.
During these last weeks the American company has sent a message to users to their respective inboxes in Gmail . The email in question informs that the way to log in will change as of December 8. So you can choose to activate this method yourself or have Google do it automatically.
How verification works
This access methodology has been implemented on various platforms for quite some time. It is a way to drastically increase the security of our account thanks to one more step after entering your password.
As of the indicated date, Google will send us a code to our phone in three ways: text message, voice call or with the mobile phone application. Be careful, this step should not be done every time you log in, since when you enter your account for the first time with the two-step verification you can choose not to use this process again. But rest assured, your data will remain protected, because if someone tries to gain access from another device , they will necessarily need to complete the verification.
Why you should activate it
The privacy of our data is an extremely important element, since if it falls into the wrong hands it can generate countless problems . For this reason, this Google authentication process gains so much weight. In addition, the Google Play Protect system cannot do anything in these situations.
At the most unexpected moments, you can give someone your information without realizing it, such as when downloading malicious software or accessing suspicious links in some emails.
It is hard to imagine what it would mean to lose your account and in turn everything that is inside it. In the case of a professional email, the problem is even greater. Mainly, because if someone manages to enter it, they can impersonate your identity without complications. On the other hand, through your Google account you can reset the passwords for other types of access. For this reason, we recommend activating it as soon as possible , in addition, the steps are really simple:
- Log into your Google account.
- Enter the ‘Settings’ panel and look for the ‘Security’ section.
- In the section ‘Access to Google’ you will find the verification in two steps.
- Follow the indicated procedure and you’re done.
