If you live in Gmail and other Google services, your Google account is one of your most valuable online assets. Follow these seven steps to establish a solid baseline of Google account security ...

Google already provides you an option to use hardware security keys, authenticator apps, prompts on your other devices with Google apps, and SMS-based verification codes as valid 2FA alternatives.

When you add LastPass to Google Authenticator, you get an extra layer of identity authentication and protection from hackers and bad actors.
