To improve data protection for the campus, Information Services now requires enrollment in Google’s 2-Step Verification. If you have already enrolled in 2-Step Verification, you do not need to enroll again. The link below will show you whether you are enrolled.

This one-time enrollment reduces the risks associated with phishing and other scams. Multifactor authentication combines something you know (a password) plus something you have (such as a mobile phone) to be able to sign into your Google account.
After enabling 2-Step Verification, you will receive a temporary code via text message to your mobile phone. You will need to enter that code to log in to your OWU Gmail account. Once you successfully log in, it will remember your device.
Other options are available if you do not have a device that can receive a text message. Please see our FAQ page https://helpdesk.owu.edu/apps-and-systems/google/2-step-verification/ or contact the Help Desk (helpdesk@owu.edu) if you have questions about these other methods.
