 -step verification adds an extra layer of security to your Google Account, drastically reducing the chances of having the personal information in your account stolen. You sign in with something you know (your password) and something you have (a code sent to your phone). To break into an account with 2-Step Verification, bad guys would not only have to know your username and password, they'd also have to get your phone.
-==Example Usage==
-#Log into your [https://myaccount.google.com/ RCS Google Account] using your RCS username and password
-#Respond to the MFA prompt to gain access to your account typically by doing one of these two steps
-#*Enter a 6-digit code that will be sent to you via Google’s mobile app called Google Authenticator (available on [https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-authenticator/id388497605?mt=8 iOS] and [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2&hl=en Android]) or through text and voice call
-#*Respond to a prompt on your mobile device if you have any Google apps installed and logged-in to your RCS Google Account
-You can choose to trust your computer when you enter the code. This means you won't be asked for a code again when you sign in from this computer. If you sign in from another computer, however, you’ll be asked for a new code.
