Enable two-step authentication for you Google account


Google's two step authentication makes your account extremely secure because not only will a hacker have to get hold of your email and password but they will also have to have access to your phone to be able to login to your Google account. Now email and password are not easy to get hold of who knows there's already a password stealing trojan hidden somewhere in your computer. :P
To make sure you account is hundred percent safe, enable this two step authentication/verification feature on your Google account.
How does two step authentication work?
Users are asked to enter a special code that Google sends to their phone upon signing in. See the two steps?
Step 1: Enter email, password.
Step 2: Enter special code sent to your phone.
If you work on a public computer or fear losing private data or simply want more security then enable this two step authentication feature on your Google account.
