How to set security in two steps in google mail

Here are the two steps to set up security in Google Mail:

Step 1: Enable Two-Step Verification

  1. Log in to your Google Account (e.g., Gmail) and go to the Google Account settings page.
  2. Click on "Security" from the navigation menu.
  3. Scroll down to the "Signing in to Google" section.
  4. Click on "2-Step Verification" and then click on "Get started".
  5. Follow the prompts to set up 2-Step Verification. You can choose from several options, such as:
    • Authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator)
    • SMS text message
    • Voice call
    • Google Prompt (a notification on your Android device)

Step 2: Enable Less Secure Apps

  1. Log in to your Google Account (e.g., Gmail) and go to the Google Account settings page.
  2. Click on "Security" from the navigation menu.
  3. Scroll down to the "Signing in to Google" section.
  4. Click on "Less secure app access" and toggle the switch to "Off".
  5. This will help prevent unauthorized access to your account from apps that don't use modern security standards.

By following these two steps, you'll have enabled two-factor authentication (2FA) and restricted access to your account from less secure apps, making your Google Mail account more secure.

Note: If you're using a third-party app to access your Google Mail account, you may need to reconfigure the app to use the new 2-Step Verification method.
