Surely you have heard on more than one occasion that “two-step verification” A concept of security really useful that prevents other people, even knowing your user data, from being able to access your account on other terminalsIt is a simple barrier in which the user, through different contact methods, can cconfirm or deny access, confirming or denying that it is of himself and not of another person who wants to access the service.Well, Google has this technology in a much simpler and more direct way thanks to Google PromptThat's how it works.
It is a security technology that, without installing any application or element in the terminal, allows you to receive notifications when you try to log in with our Google accounts on other devices. Thus, Google Prompt appears on the screen with a simple question: “Are you trying to sign from another computer?”. And, next to it, two possible answers: Yes, to give permission to this login, or no , to lock it. However, to secure our Google account with this two-step verification, we must carry out a small prior configuration.
The first thing to do is access the page My AccountA section that Google continues to develop to collect all related privacy and security settings and options with the user account. Among your cards you have to click on Login and security When accessing the page with all these options, you need to scroll down to find section Google Sign in, where you can find the option 2-Step Verification
When this option is clicked, the user accesses a new page with information about this security method. Simply click on Start to carry out the guided configuration step by step. The first thing is to confirm the user account. After that, it is possible to choose the communication channel with Google to receive a verification code to continue with the configuration, either through a message from SMS text or via phone callIn any case, it is necessary to enter a mobile phone number and choose the method.
After receiving this code and entering it into the computer, it is now possible to activate two-step verification associated with the account previously entered.
Now, what is interesting about this activation is to use Google Prompt, which sends the notification directly to the mobile instead of a code verification that must be read, memorized and entered manually. Therefore, as a second step, you must press the option Message from Google
Again, you have to carry out a small configuration to establish which is the trusted mobile of the user to send theto verification message to press only yes or noPressing Get Started displays the terminal currently linked to that Google account (it is possible that after activating the verification in two steps it is necessary to sign again on the phone with the user data). With this it is possible to do a test at that very moment If the terminal vibrates and the confirmation screen appears, all that remains is to press Yes.
In this way everything is established and secured with this double barrier With it, every time you log on to another computer The notification will appear, pressing yes only if we are the ones who logged in, but pressing no to make sure that nobody takes advantage of our Google account
