Hi! Everyone, hope you all are fine.
Today in this post I will tell you how you can setup 2-step verification for your Google Account. Google recently introduced a new feature called 2-step verification by which you can make your Google Account more safe and secure. By using 2-step verification when you will login to your account you don’t only need your username and password to login, you also need your mobile phone. It means if someone somehow find out what is the password of your Google Account but to access your account he/she still need your mobile phone to login. And if someone tried to login you will get to know instantly.
