2-step verification is a way to add an extra layer of security to your accounts by requesting an additional code to verify your identity during login. CIS recommends that wherever available, users enable 2-step verification (also referred to as 2-factor authentication) on all websites where the feature is available.
Google Apps for Education offers 2-step verification. Please visit https://www.google.com/landing/2step/ for more information. If you need additional assistance, please contact the CIS Service Desk at servicedesk@vassar.edu or x7224.
