Add 2-step verification to your gmail account

Add 2-step verification

These articles are for Google Apps Administrators. End users should see About 2-step verification.

2-step verification adds an extra layer of security to your users' Google Apps accounts by requiring them to enter a verification code in addition to their username and password, when signing in to their account.

The Google Apps Service Level Agreement does not apply to any services used in connection with 2-step verification if the verification process relies on third-party voice or data providers to deliver the verification code.

Why should I enable 2-step verification for my domain?

2-step verification helps protect a user's account from unauthorized access should someone manage to obtain their password. Even if a password is cracked, guessed, or otherwise stolen, an attacker can't sign in without access to the user's verification codes, which only the user can obtain via their own mobile phone.

Requirements

Note: If you're an API developer using ClientLogin authentication, read API Developers before enrolling in 2-step verification.

How it works

  1. You enable 2-step verification for your domain in your Google Apps control panel. SeeSetup 2-step verification for your domain for how to enable 2-step verification for your account. We recommend that you notify your users of this new security process and include instructions on how to get started.

    Note: Although users must opt-in to 2-step verification themselves, you may require them to do so by enforcing the setting on the Settings > Security tab. Do not make this change until all users have opted in, or they will be locked out of Google Apps. See theEnforcement article for instructions.
     
  2. The user enrolls in 2-step verification, and selects the method for receiving their verification code on their mobile phone: the Google Authenticator app, text message, or phone call. How quickly they get their code via text message or phone call depends on their service provider and location. We recommend users with smartphones to use theGoogle Authenticator app which can generate codes without a network connection.

    See Set up 2-step verification for your Google Account.

    • If this link doesn't take you to the 2-step verification page, you need to follow these steps:

      1. Sign in to your Google Apps Gmail Account and click Settings (in the top right corner).
      2. Under the Accounts tab, click Google Account settings.
      3. Under Security, click Edit next to 2-step verification.
      4. Follow the steps in the 2-step verification guide to set up 2-step verification.

    Administrators can point users to Getting started with 2-step verification for step-by-step instructions.
     
  3. The next time the user signs in to their Google Apps account on a new browser or device, they enter their username and password as usual. They're then prompted with a second page to enter a verification code. When your user checks Remember verification for this computer, they're only prompted to enter a verification code once every 30 days per browser or after deleting their browser's cookies. Your users should not check this if they're at a public or shared computer.

     
     
  4. Depending on how they opted to receive their code, the user gets their time-based, one-time code from the Google Authenticator app on their smartphone or via text message or phone call. They then enter the code to successfully sign in.

Signing in to mobile devices with application-specific passwords

Once your users enroll in 2-step verification, they may need to use application-specific passwords in addition to their verification codes. For installed applications that don't have a 2-step verification field, your users will need to enter an application-specific password once per device or application in place of their regular password to access their Google Account.

Common devices and applications that require application-specific passwords are: Gmail and Google Calendar on Android-based phones, ActiveSync for Windows Mobile and iPhone, and IMAP clients such as Thunderbird. See Sign in to mobile or desktop apps for more details.

Remember that good security practices are critical to the integrity of your user's Google Account. Learn more at Keeping your account secure.

Turning off 2-step verification

Turning off 2-step verification

Did your email client or applications stop working when you turned on 2-step verification? Don't fret -- you can get applications and devices that need access to your Google Account working again in minutes using application-specific passwords.

Turning off 2-step verification

  1. Visit the Using 2-step verification page under your Google Account settings. Sign in with your username, password, and verification code if prompted.
  2. Click Turn off 2-step verification.
  3. A pop-up window will appear to confirm that you want to turn off 2-step verification. Click OK.

Revoking and destroying passwords and codes to protect your account

If you used application-specific passwords to authorize applications to access your Google Account, we recommend you go back to using passwords -- rather than application-specific passwords -- to access these applications. That way, you can revoke your application-specific passwords so nobody else can use them:

  1. Visit the Authorizing applications & sites page under your Google Account settings.
  2. Click Revoke for any application or device whose code you want to revoke.
  3. For each application that you revoked an application-specific password, you'll need to reauthorize the application by entering your username and password, as you did before you turned on 2-step verification. You might not be prompted for this information the next time you use the application as some applications will take longer to recognized that an application-specific password has been revoked.

In addition, remember to destroy all backup codes that you had been using to verify this account.

Adding trusted computers and devices to your accounts

Trusted Computers

If you don't want to enter a verification code every time you sign in to your Google Account, you can mark your computer or mobile device as trusted. With trusted computers and devices, you don't need to enter a verification code when you sign in.

Adding trusted computers and devices
You can add your computer to the trusted list at any time. When you sign up for 2-step verification, you'll be asked if you want to trust the computer you're using. You can also mark a computer as trusted by selecting "Trust this computer" when entering a verification code.

Removing trusted computers from your list
You can remove computers from your set of trusted computers at any time. To do so, sign in to your account and go to your 2-step verification settings page. Under the "Advanced" section, you'll have the choice to remove the computer you're using at the time or all other computers. If you choose to remove other computers from your trusted list, those computers will automatically sign out of your account, and you'll be prompted for a verification code next time you try to sign in from them.

Common issues with the "Trust this computer" option

Asked to provide verification code despite checking 'Trust this computer' box

You might be asked to give your username, password, and a code multiple times despite having checked the box next to "Trust this computer" at sign-in. Usually this is because your browser does not have cookies enabled, is set to delete cookies after a certain period of time, or is set to delete cookies every time you quit the browser.

Depending on how often you want to sign in, enable cookies in your browser then change the settings for when you'd like your browser to delete cookies. For example, you can ask your browser to delete cookies every 30 days, which means you need to sign in again once the 30 days are up. Or, you could ask your browser to never delete cookies.

'Trust this computer' option doesn't work

For computers you trust, Google recommends you select the "Trust this computer" option when you are asked for a verification code. When you check this box, you won't have to enter a code every time you sign in to your account from that computer.

This feature uses a cookie to remember your browser when you sign in. If you're still being asked to enter a code despite selecting the "Trust this computer" option, this might be because your browser is set to delete cookies after a certain period of time, or is set to delete cookies every time you quit the browser. You may also be manually clearing cookies from your browser.

Try following the steps below if you don't want to enter a verification code every time you sign in.

  • Edit your browser's cookie settings. You can either set your browser to save cookies, or you can add an exception for Google Account cookies by adding [*.]google.com. Click on the browser you use below for more information on how to edit your settings.
  • Incognito windows can't access existing cookies from other browser sessions on your computer. To sign in, you should open a non-incognito window.
  • Check 'Trust this computer' for each different browser or computer that you use. If you use different browsers or computers to sign in, make sure you check this box on every computer and adjust your cookie settings on each browser.

Signing in with your backup phone

Signing in with your backup phone

If you're having trouble signing in with your primary phone, you can always have a verification code sent to your backup phone:

  1. Go to the sign-in page of the Google service you want to use (for example, Gmail new window).
  2. Enter your username and password.
  3. Click Don't have your phone?.
  4. In the box that comes up, select the option to send the code to your backup phone.
  5. If you have only one backup phone in your account, make sure it ends with the last two digits in the bulleted list. If you have multiple backup phones, you can select which one you want to use from the list. Once you select the correct phone number, click OK.
  6. Enter the code you receive on your backup phone. If you don't receive a code, you can sign in with your backup codes or click Don't have your phone? and use the "I cannot access any of my phones" option to try to get into your account.

Signing in using backup codes

Signing in using backup codes

Basics of backup codes

If you lose your phones or otherwise can't receive codes via SMS, voice call, or Google Authenticator, you can use backup codes to sign in. These codes are available on your Accounts overview page and were first offered to you at the end of the 2-step verification setup.

The codes come in sets of 10, and you can generate a new set at any point, automatically making the old set inactive. In addition, after you've used a backup code to sign in, it will become inactive.

We recommend you store your codes wherever you keep your other valuable items. Like the codes on your phone, backup codes are only valuable to someone if they manage to also steal your password.

Creating and viewing a set of backup codes

To create a new set of backup codes:

  1. Sign in to your accounts at https://www.google.com/accounts/SmsAuthConfig.
  2. Look for the "Printable backup codes" area.
  3. Click Show/Generate codes.
  4. If you are fine using the current set of backup codes, you can print or download them. If you believe this set of codes might have been stolen or you've used many of the backup codes, you can generate a new set by clicking Generate new codes.

Signing in

  1. Locate your backup codes.
  2. Go to the sign-in page of the Google service you want to use (for example, Gmail).
  3. Enter your username and password.
  4. Enter your backup code in the box next to the phone icon, where you would normally enter your verification code.
  5. Optional: As each code can be used only once, you might want to mark the code as used.

Setup for 2 step verification for your gmail account

Setup

SMS/Voice setup

You'll first need to set up your phone number to receive codes via SMS text message or voice call. If you have a smartphone, you can later download an app that allows you to generate codes without text messages and even without cell service.

In order to receive codes, you must use a mobile carrier that supports text or automated voice messages from Google Standard messaging rates will apply.

To set up 2-step verification:

  1. Sign in to your Google Account and go to the 2-step verification settings page.

  2.  
  3. From the drop-down menu, select the country where your phone is registered, and enter your phone number in the box.
  4. Choose whether you'd like to receive your codes by text or by voice call. You can always change this later.
  5. Enter your phone number, then click Send verification code to receive a code on your phone. We recommend you use a mobile phone number as opposed to a landline or Google Voice number.
  6. Enter the code from the text or voice message into the box, then click Verify.
  7. Next you'll be asked whether you want to trust the computer you are using. If you check the box, you won't need to enter a code to sign on with this computer again. Don't check this box if you are using a public computer or a device that you don't regularly use to sign in.
  8. Click Turn on 2-step verification to finish the process! You'll be automatically taken to your account settings page.

How you sign in with 2-step verification

How you sign in with 2-step verification

Signing in with 2-step verification is easy.

  1. Go to the sign-in page and enter your username and password like you normally do.

  2. Google's new sign-in page
  3. Then you'll be asked for a six-digit code, which you'll get from your phone. If you want, when you enter your code, you can choose to trust your computer -- this means you won't be asked for a code again when you sign in from this computer. If you sign in from another computer, however, you'll be asked for a code.

  4. After you turn on 2-step verification, non-browser applications and devices that use your Google Account (such as the Gmail app on your phone or Outlook), will be unable to connect to your account. However, in a few steps, you can generate a special password called application-specific password to allow this application to connect to your account -- and don't worry, you'll only have to do this once for each device or application.

2-step verification for your gmail account to be secure.

How it works

2-step verification adds an extra layer of security to your Google Account

In addition to your username and password, you'll enter a code that Google will send you via text, voice call, or our mobile app.

 

How it works

1Enter your password
Whenever you sign in to Google you'll enter your username and password as usual.
2Enter a code from your phone
Then, you'll be asked for a code that will be sent to you via text, voice call, or our mobile app.
Keep it simple
During sign in, you can tell us not to ask for a code again on that particular computer. You'll still be covered, because we'll ask for codes when you or anyone else tries to sign in to your account from other computers.

 

Why you should use 2-step verification

2-step verification drastically reduces the chances of having the personal information in your Google Account stolen by someone else. Why? Because bad guys would have to not only get your password and your username, they'd have to get a hold of your phone.
