You have already had a Google account, or created one, the next is to make a second password for your Google account. It is called ” two-factor authentication “. Entering your ID and password, then be asked to enter another code.
It is also called ” 2-Step Verification “. For short, it is called ” 2FA ” or ” 2fa “. The security is improved by adding an analog factor ( hand-written input or email sending ) for the second code input.
If you won’t use Google on WordPress, as the hackers can steal your personal information ( they can grasp the informations about where you went and what you took the photos freely ) unless you will change the password frequently, you should do two-factor authentication for security. You can receive the confirmation email like below, however, it cannot prevent from the hacker’s access.
This two-factor authentication is very useful after you have done. You will not need the same input again. Let’s improve your security.
2FA setting procedure
From your Google account, click the ” Security ” tab, then click the ” 2-Step Verification ” line. And just follow the setup navigation.
The setup is like these.
After doing it, you will see new login screen whiche is called ” Google Prompt ” for login.
When the ” 2-step Verification ” screen appears after you enter ID and password, Google app launches the upper right image on your smartphone. Tap ” YES ” to access your Google account. It bothered you a bit, but you don’t have to do anything after doing it.
By the way, Google Account has ” Pass Key “, which is the securer to login. But there is a loophole. So it needs another 2FA for security after all. I think it is just okay only to use Google Prompt.
You got it !
