2-STEP VERIFICATION?

For added security, you may consider adding 2-step verification to your Google account, which requires you to use both a password and your mobile phone when you sign into your account from a new computer. You can receive your mobile password using a text message, voice call, or mobile app. You can decide whether you’re prompted each time you sign into a particular computer. To turn on two-step verification, click your Google avatar, click Account, navigate to the Security tab, and click Setup beside 2-step verification.
