1. Download Google Authenticator from either the Apple App Store or the Android Google Play store. It's free.
2. Next, set up two-step verification on your google account. Log into your google account. Under "Security and Sign-In" select "Two-Step Verification," and then scroll down to select the "Authenticator app" option.
