Monthly checklist

Every month follow these tips to ensure your Gmail account is as safe as possible.

  • Enable Two-Step Verification: Two-step verification adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of identification beyond your password, such as a code sent to your phone or generated by an Authenticator app.

  • Ensure your recovery email and phone number are current. This information is crucial if you need to reset your password or if Google needs to notify you of suspicious activity.

  • Always access your Gmail account from a secure connection. Avoid logging in from public Wi-Fi networks without using a VPN (Virtual Private Network).
