The following article will outline the process of setting up Two-Step Verification for a Google account. Two-Step Verification is required for all Google@Wharton accounts that do not use PennKey authentication, and is heavily recommended for personal Google accounts.
Note: If your Wharton Google account was created after December 2023, this article does not apply to you.
Before You Start (Action Required)
You must choose between push notifications or a code generator app before you can enroll.
For more information about choosing between Two-Step methods, see our Two-Step: Methods of Verification article.
Push Notifications: Android
| Push Notifications: iOS
| Code Generator App
|
Tip: The Duo Mobile app (used for PennKey two-step verification) can do both push notifications and generate codes. Use one app for all your two-step needs!
Getting Enrolled
1) Enroll in Two-Step | 2) Generate Backup Codes |
Note: The Google Authenticator app is no longer supported for Google Two-Step. If you previously setup your Google account to use it for generating codes it will still work, but new accounts or individuals looking to change two-step verification methods will not be able to set it up.
