How To Protect Your GMail Account From Hackers



Most of the people use Gmail to send emails. We have precious information stored in our Gmail account. So Gmail would be the target for hackers being hacking it.

Gmail developer team has given us wonderful security option by enabling the 2-step Verification. By enabling the 2-step verification from your account, it makes your account more secured by allowing you to login into Gmail by the 2-step Verification. While logging in into the Gmail account, Gmail send you the security code to your mobile phone and asks you to enter that code in Gmail login page. This makes sure that only the mobile phone carrier can able to know that code. So your account cannot be hacked if someone tries to hack your account from somewhere else.

How to enable 2-step Verification

• Log in to your Gmail Account.
• Click Account at the top right.
• Click Edit on 2-step verification.
• Click Start Setup.
• Select your country and add your mobile number.
• Select the method of verification, SMS option is by default and it is most recommended one.
• Click Send Code.
• Google will text the Verification Code to your mobile phone.
• Click Next.

Note: After the 2-step Verification, another application and connected accounts will not be working, you will re-invoke that on the Final 2-step Verification or do it later!

• If your Primary Mobile is lost, you will not be able to login Gmail so set Backup Mobile Number.
• Backup Verification Code is the another way to Recover your Account Please Download and Note that number and keep it somewhere safe and  accessible for you, like your Wallet. Each code can be used only once.
• I recommend you to read everything and make a note of it.

Please remember to make use of the share links!!!
