How to Setup 2 Step Verification on Gmail - Google 2 Step Verification - 2 Factor Authentication

This video explains How to Setup 2 Step Verification on Gmail. You will also learn here what is 2 step verification (2 Factor Authentication) and why you should turn on Google 2 Step Verification.
Actually enabling 2 step verification on google account adds one extra layer of security to your google account. Hacking your Google account is easier than you think if you have not turned on the 2 step verification. So I highly recommend you to enable two step verification for your Google account.
Do you know having only one layer of security that is the password, to protect your google account is not just enough.
Do you know, Some of your common actions can put your account at risk? These actions may be as simple as - downloading software from the internet, clicking on links that you receive in your email messages or using the same password on more than one sites.
We all do these these actions frequently. So what does this mean? It actually means our google account is at risk.
But you need not to worry, here I will show you how you can enable two step verification to protect your account easily and how does it work.
So let's first understand how the sign in process works when you have enabled the 2 step verification.
Its actually very simple procedure.
First You need to enter your password as usual while signing in to your Google account.
Then a code will be sent to your registered mobile phone via text, voice or call and you need to enter this code also to sign in to your Google account.
This is a simple 2 step verification process that adds extra layer of security to your account. Even If someone gets your password and tries to access your account from his device he would not be able to do so, because he would also need your mobile phone to get that code received on your mobile phone.
In this way stealing your password is not enough for someone to access your Google account. Hence it adds one more layer of security to your account.

Strange, I do not see the option "2-Step Verification" under Signing Into Google. All I see is the password. Why would that be?

my google account does not give me this menu option of two step verification; under Security/Signing-in with Google...I have no idea why...

So if you lose your phone you have no access to your email... And if someone finds your phone and can see the email on the locked screen message and write to you so you can recover your phone, you won't be able to because you can't get the verification code on your phone to open gmail to read the message to recover your phone... No, I don't want 2 step verification anymore... And what if you travel and don't have phone service in another country? Then you can't get a code to use gmail... So you should have another email than gmail to keep in touch... No, I don't like 2 step... This also means that my wife or secretary can't check my email for me if I'm busy or away... No I don't like 2 step...

If you use a phone and only a phone to login to an email and you end up losing that phone, you will lose your account forever.
