Dosey-Doe and the Google 2-Step

The next time you log in to your Google Account, you’ll likely be prompted to setup your 2-Step Verification Code. According to Google, “2-step verification drastically reduces the chances of having the personal information in your Google account stolen by someone else. Why? Because hackers would have to not only get your password and your username, they’d have to get a hold of your phone. ”

Makes sense, right? Although it does cause a bit of consternation as you’ll need to receive Google’s automatic text or robot call each time you use a different computer, the 2-step process is used by more institutions to combat hacking and protect your online life.

So grab your partner, put on that hoop skirt, and do the Google 2-Step!
