Google (JagMail) 2-Step Verification
Google 2-Step Verification, also known as Two-factor authentication, is an extra layer of security to ensure that you're the only person who can access your account, even if someone has obtained your password. It's a security process in which users provide two different authentication factors to verify themselves. The use of 2-step verification greatly lowers your risk of account compromise.
Direction for 2-Step Verification
We recommend either of these 2-Step Verification processes which use your smartphone or tablet:
- Google Prompt 鈥� Allow you to use the Google app to verify your login access
- Authenticator App 鈥� Google Authenticator app provides a verification code without the need for a network or cellular connection.
AND print Backup Codes to use if your smartphone is not available
