Google 2-Step Verification

Google 2-Step Verification (TSV) is Google’s form of multi-factor authentication (MFA).

MFA adds an extra layer of security on top of your password (a second "factor"), keeping other people out of your account. 2-Step Verification makes it very difficult for an attacker to gain access to your Google account, even if they know your password. Currently, MFA is the best defense against phishing attacks.

Who Should Enable Google TSV?

Information Technology is only asking Staff and Faculty to enable 2-Step Verification by February 2, 2021, at this time. Any employee who has not enabled it by this date may risk losing access to their Biola Google account (e.g. Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar).

We will be reaching out to Students, Alumni, and department account owners about 2-Step Verification later this Spring.
