 Whatis 2-step verification?
Whenyou use a password, that's one-step verification. The password is the single
"step." 2-step verification uses a second "step" – a code
sent to your phone. It's an easy strong addition that makes it much harder for
anyone
elseto get into your account. 
Clicka heading below to expand and learn more about how to set up 2-step verification
and how it can protect your account.

verification code again when you sign in using the same device, browser, or

do this by signing out of the device from your updated Recent activity page.
