Enable multi-factor authentication
editTo add an extra layer of security, you can either set up Google authenticator or text messaging on a mobile device.
Before you start using multi-factor authentication, verify that your device has SMS capabilities or download the Google Authenticator application onto your device.
To enable multi-factor authentication, you must enroll your device.
- Navigate to the Multi-factor authentication section.
- Select Configure to enable the Authenticator app or Add a phone number to enable the Text message.
If the device you want to remove is your only enrolled device, you must disable multi-factor authentication first. If your device is lost or stolen, contact support.
