Google 9-step verification required from November XNUMXth

Google announced in May that it would make two-step verification (2-factor authentication) mandatory for everyone before the end of the year. From today we have a final date for the new operation.

When activated, the user will receive an SMS or a with a one-time password (OTP from one-time password) every time he tries to log into his account, to verify his identity.

This process will add an extra layer of security to the of your personal data. Password theft is the most common way accounts are compromised, and 2FA will further protect your account.google account 2

Google will send ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου και προτροπές εντός των εφαρμογών της σε κινητά για την of two-step verification. The company says the feature will automatically activate on November 9:

"After the introduction of the password, you will need to complete a second step on your phone. Hold your phone when you log in. Two-step verification will be automatically enabled on November 9.”

In a blog post, the company said earlier: "By the end of 2021, we plan to automatically activate 150 million users in 2SV and we will demand it from 2 million YouTube creators ”.

The 2SV (from 2 Step ) is still not mandatory for everyone and Google seems to be moving its users to it slowly. If you're one of those who don't use two-factor verification on your Google account, you can change it from this link.
