You can set up two-factor authentication (2FA) for your Google Workspace account using the following steps:
- Sign in to your Google Workspace account.
- Click on your profile picture or initial in the top-right corner of the screen.
- Select "Manage your Google Account."
- Click on the "Security" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
- Under the "Signing in to Google" section, click on "2-Step Verification."
- You may be prompted to sign in again. If so, enter your current password and click "Next."
- Follow the prompts to choose a second factor to use for verification. This can be a phone number where you'll receive verification codes via SMS or phone call, or a physical security key that you plug into your computer's USB port.
- Verify your chosen method of 2FA, following the prompts on screen.
Once you've set up 2FA, you'll be prompted to enter a verification code whenever you sign in to your Google Workspace account from an unfamiliar device or location. This provides an extra layer of security to help protect your account from unauthorized access.
