This is how you can turn on the 2-step Google verification privacy setting

A few days back, the search giant announced that it will automatically turn-on the 2-step verification feature on its users’ Google accounts. Google, in order to respect privacy and provide safety to its users, will forcefully enable the new 2-step privacy tool by the end of the year 2021.

Those who haven’t enabled the additional log-in step, are recommended to do so beforehand. Otherwise, they will receive a notification from the company in the form of email or message, 7 days before it auto-enables the feature.

The two-factor authentication is known for providing an extra layer of safety after the user successfully signs in the device. However, the users can disable it later if they want.

Let us show you how to enable it manually,
