Overview
2-Step Verification involves securing your account with more than just a password. The most common application of 2-Step Verification involves logging in to a system as you always would with a username and a password, then a code is sent to a third party and you enter that code to prove you have access to that third party. The third party could be a cell phone number, email address, or an app specifically designed around authentication.
