Introduction


This page explains how to enable (enroll in) Google 2-Step Verification (2SV) for a Google workspace account.

Google 2-Step Verification adds an additional layer of protection by requiring, as Google says, something you know (your password) AND something you have (your mobile phone) to access your account from a new device. For more information about Google 2-Step Verification, please see Google 2-Step Verification for Biola.

Setup tip!

Make sure you're logged in to your Biola email account:

  1. Open an Incognito, Private or InPrivate browser window.
  2. Go to gmail.com.
  3. Log in using your Biola email address and password.

2SV for Departments

If you are enabling 2SV for a shared department account, you may need to enable Gmail Delegation or request a Shared Drive. See our 2SV for Departments FAQ for more information.
