Do you use Gmail? YouTube? Or other Google services? A Google account provides you with access to not only email, but the entire Google ecosystem and allows the big G to track things like your browsing activity, search history and what you watch on YouTube.
I’ve had rarely used Gmail and YouTube accounts for years. Whether you use these services daily or only occasionally, it’s a good idea to check in on the security of your account. After all, it’s a doorway to your personal life and all of the sensitive information that comes with the territory.
Fortunately, Google makes it pretty easy to check the security basics on your account including options to turn on 2 factor authentication. Point your browser to your Google account and review your security settings in just a few short clicks. (If you don’t know how to get here, start in Gmail and look for Account in the settings menu in your browser window or app.)
So there you have it. In just a few short clicks you can make your Google account a more secure. Kudos to Google for making security simple and kudos to YOU for making security and privacy a priority in your digital life.
