Does Eating Oats Bring On Gout?

Verification of two-step - your Google Account even safer


Is Your account is safe? Does not anybody steal your password? Maybe someone saw how you enter a password on the keyboard? - If you have been had similar concerns, you can now breathe a sigh of relief. Google found out how to protect your data from prying eyes!

"Verification of a two-step" (called "2-step verification") is a service that helps protect your Google account from unauthorized access, even if someone gets hold of a password. Whether the password has been cracked, guessed, stolen or otherwise. The person carrying out the attack, and so will not be able to log in using the stolen data without access to the verification codes, which have only you.

How does it work?
When you log into Google co-operating (eg, GMail), in addition to the username and password we provide specially-generated password. We can get them in three ways:
  • generate them on the Android phone, BlackBerry or iPhone,
  • receive them via SMS,
  • pick a voice message (conversation with an automatic).

How can you benefit from this protection?
For this purpose you need:
  • mobile phone that can receive verification codes via text message or voice call (any phone) or

If you meet the above requirements, then you're ready to run additional security. To this end (read everything appears on the screen):



  • click the link "Using the two-stage review"










  • click "Set up 2-step verification "









  • select the appropriate phone OS






    • download and install" Google Authenticator "
    • run the application and select "Scan Barcode account"
      • if you do not have the "ZXing barcode scanner, a window appears asking for the installation of
      • after completion of the installation press the "Scan Barcode account "
    • after reading the tutorial, press the" Done "
    • in your browser, click" Next "




  • head phone to receive the lens QR code








  • after scanning the code in the browser, click "Next"








  • enter the code displayed on the Android (NOTE!! code from time to time changes to screen!)










  • after successful verification, click the "Next"










  • we are asked to perform the steps that will allow us to obtain access your account even if we do not carry the phone, click "Next"










  • print the information and keep it always with you (I recommend also to make another copy and keep These data somewhere safe at home), select "Yes, I have a copy of my backup verification codes." and click "Next"








  • select a country, enter the alternate phone number (that is, in case we lost the phone, forgotten, destroyed, etc.), develop an optional field and hit "Send code "and enter the resulting number (in order to minimize the risk of entering an incorrect telephone number), click" Verify "and" Next "








  • if you use other Google services, we receive a message about the need to create passwords for specific applications (such as GMail moblinego), click "Next"








  • get the information that you will be immediately logged out of all open sessions a Google Account Click "Turn on two-step verification"








  • log in to your account








  • get a message that did not define special terms for certain applications, click on "Create Password" to not leave it for later








  • re enter your password and click "Verify"
















  • give the name that will identify our Androidka (or type such as "Android") and click "Generate Password"











  • get our password, enable GMail app on Android and rewrite the code provided when the application will ask for it (more times you do not see the password, so Android hit the "Login")










  • When everything is working and we have not received any error click "Hide password" in the browser












  • That's it! You have properly configured your Google Account protected like a fortress. From now on we will be asked for your password each time you log into Gmail and other services.

    logging in to Gmail will be invited to a secure password. to get a running application "Google Authenticator" on our Android.

    Even if the password leaks, it can have access to our data. But we should not forget that each security may be weak when one puts in it his stupidity ... So remember, do not the use of "Verification of a two-step" does not guarantee 100% safety.
