When you activate your OWU account and log in to BishopMail (OWU Gmail<\/a>) for the first time, Google should* warn you that “your domain will soon enforce 2-step verification to ensure better account security.” It’s certainly tempting to click the “Do this later” link at the bottom of that. But it only takes a minute to set up and turn on, plus it’s required. You’ll need a mobile phone to do so, and Google steps you through the setup.<\/p>\n

We’re also here to help!\u00a0See our Help Desk website for more information<\/a>. Take the time now, so you don’t get locked out.<\/p>\n

*We’ve seen that Google doesn’t warn you when you sign on using a mobile device. If this is the case, you can still set it up on that device at https:\/\/myaccount.google.com\/<\/a>signinoptions\/twosv.<\/p>\n
