How to Secure Gmail from Hacking - 2Step Verification Method for More Security

Personal information is compromised, passwords are cracked, and lives are put in jeopardy. If you ever use one password for multiple accounts, you are exponentially increasing your vulnerability to being hacked. Thankfully, Google has launched its 2-step verification system: anytime an unknown device is used to sign into your Google account, the user has to provide a verification code in addition to the password. So it's not enough for hackers to just get your password; they'll also need physical control of your phone or computer to access your account.

HOW 2 STEP VERIFICATION IN GMAIL WORKS

Signing in to your account will work a little differently
1.Enter your password:
              Whenever you sign in to Google, you'll enter your password as usual.
2.Enter a verification code
             Then, you'll be asked for a code that will be sent to your phone via text, voice call, or our mobile app.
To Keep sign-in simple from Personal Computer:
             During sign-in, you can tell us not to ask for a code again on that particular computer. From then on, that computer will only ask for your password when you sign in.
