Google has introduced account verification via SMS

Google has introduced account verification via SMS

Google accounts are even more secure from now on. If you have a Gmail account and are concerned about security, Google has introduced another step in signing in to a Gmail account - SMS confirmation.

How does this work?

It's simple, as is the SMS confirmation on Facebook. So, after logging in to your Gmail account (email and password), you will receive an SMS message to your phone containing the activation code, which you copy into the displayed field on your computer.

Of course, you don't have this option just like that, you need to activate it.

How to activate it?

Click on this link and enter your email username and password and log in. Now you will see a big blue button on the right, click on it. You will now be able to choose the type of message: Text message (SMS), iPhone, BlackBerry, Android. I will take a simple SMS as an example.

Now select the country (if it is not already automatically selected) and enter your mobile number. Eg + 3816 × 123456 (where x is the grid, 4 - 064, 2 - 062 ..) Then click on "Send Code" and within a few seconds, you will receive the Activation Code on your phone. Enter that code in the box below and click "Next".

Then click next.. until you finish registering. Now, every time you sign in to your Gmail, you'll need to confirm via SMS.
