Protecting Your Gmail Account

Mailbox Protection Options:

  1. Mail service Gmail.com provides protection using automatic systems for monitoring mailbox activity.
  2. There is also a system for verifying successful authorizations using IP. If the system detects a significant difference between IP addresses, the current authorization will be canceled.
  3. In addition, you can enable the additional "2-Step Verification" method suggested by Gmail.com.

To Better Protect Your Google Account, Follow These Steps:

1. Go to the advanced settings section of your account. To do this, click "Google Account" in the upper right corner.

For maximum protection, use a password consisting of numbers, lower- and upper-case Latin characters, for example g7NX4PH2R4S4O4hQ7UE9.

The password should not be easy, because scammers seeking to gain access to your mailbox use programs that pick passwords by generating primitive options: QWERTY123456qwerty, 123456789zxc, asd456asd, and so on.

Don't use your date of birth as a password combination. This data is publicly available on social media.

6. Next, enable "2-Step Verification".
