Google Multifactor-Autentication
Multi-Factor authentication for employee email access. This will mean that when signing into email our employees will be prompted to enter a verification code to authorize the login. This is a simple process that employees can complete on their own using these instructions and by utilizing either SMS, the Google Authenticator app, or a security token.
Instructions
Open a new tab and click on your name in the top right and then click Manage your Google account
On the left side, click on Security, then scroll down to the Signing into Google section, and click 2-Step Verification. It should say On
Should bring you to the below screen. Click Get Started.
It will ask you to sign in with your SCASD email password.
It will prompt you which option you want to use as the authentication method, you are able to choose which way you would like to use but, we recommend either the Authenticator App or Voice or Text Message.
Authenticator App:
We recommend you sign in with the Authenticator App. Authenticator App is an app you can download on Android or Apple.
Once downloaded, it will auto-generate a code for you to use to sign in.
Voice or Text Message:
A 6-digit code may be sent to a number you’ve previously provided. Codes can be sent through a text message (SMS) or through a voice call, depending on the setting you chose. To verify it’s you, enter the code on the sign-in screen.
Once you choose your authentication method and a backup method, it will send you a code to confirm that it works.
After that, it should take you back to the Google Account screen you started at, saying that 2-Factor Authentication is enabled.
