Preventing unauthorized login to your Google account

Posted by Boffill Sunday, November 4, 2012

Just recently, I was exploring some features of Google's privacy settings after my Paypal account has been hacked. I was traumatized of what had happened to my Paypal so I didn't waste any time to change the settings of my primary email. I found out a cool feature somewhere on the settings. When logging in, Google doesn't asks for just the password only but also for the code being sent to you thru your mobile phone. So, after you login using your account name and password, you will then be redirected to a page where it will ask for the code sent to you. If you have not received any code in your inbox, you can choose to be called by Google's automated message and the code will be dictated to you over the phone. This kind of feature from Google is really helpful specially when you have a lot of confidential email on your mailbox. I can't create a tutorial right now because I am creating this post using Blob. So if you want to have a double protection on your Google account now, browse your settings and activate the phone verification now.
