What is Two-Step Verification?

Two-Step Verification is meant to work in tandem with a secure password and adds an extra layer of security that will help protect your personal and private information. Two-step verification is a process that involves two authentication methods performed one after the other. Typically, a mobile device is used as the secondary authentication method.
