Hello,
I know its after a long while I am writing a new post, but this post will surely tell you another reason why google’s innovations are best.
Some people just lost their google accounts for adsense or gmail and then the trails starts, from your email id to your facebook accounts, etc etc.
I will tell you a simple way in which you can protect your gmail account in a way that even if someone gets to know your password even, he will never be even then be able to HACK your account.
AWWW reallyy…. i dont believe..
Ok here you go:
- Open your gmail account and click on the settings ICON>
- Click on settings
- Click on account and Imports
- click on account recovery options
- click on how a phone can protect your account
- click on add a phone no.
- enable 2 layer security
How it works?
2-step verification adds an extra layer of security to your Google Account In addition to your username and password, you’ll enter a code that Google will send you via text or voice message upon signing in. Why you should use 2-step verification 2-step verification drastically reduces the chances of having the personal information in your Google account stolen by someone else. Why? Because hackers would have to not only get your password and your username, they’d have to get a hold of your phone.
Why Google asks you to add a mobile phone number to your account
Having a mobile phone number on your account is one of the easiest and most reliable ways to help keep your account safe and ensure that you can get back into your account if your account is hijacked or you forget your password. Your mobile phone is a more secure identification method than your recovery email address or a security question because, unlike the other two, you have physical possession of your mobile phone.
Hackers target accounts without phones because they’re easier targets. Add a phone and join hundreds of millions of other Google users who have helped stop hackers in their tracks.
Ways we will use your mobile phone number
We’ll only use your mobile phone number to ensure the security of your account. Here are some ways we’ll use it: •To challenge people when they try to hijack your account •To send you a verification code so you can get into your account if you ever lose access •To provide an alternate way for you to verify that you own an account •To help prevent people from getting into your account by guessing the answer to your security question •Optional: To alert you to possible threats to your account’s security (for example, when your password is changed)
