How do I set up Google 2 Step Verification?

Google accounts are created for all VCSC employees. There are also some Covered Bridge and contracted employees who are assigned accounts through VCSC. All accounts must comply with Google's 2 Step Verification (2SV) within 7 days of initial login.

To enroll:

• Log into your Google account (your email account)
• Click on the round tab with initial at the upper right corner of the screen on any Google page (email, drive, classroom, etc). 
• Ensure that the @vigoschools.org email is being used and click on Manage Your Google Account. 
• Find the Security tab either at the top or left of the screen and click to open it. Look for 2 Step Verification (which will show toggled OFF). 
• click the arrow to the right of the 2 Step Verification frame. 
• When prompted to enroll, follow the prompts to enter a phone number and have a text message sent. 
• Wait for the code to arrive via text message and enter it in the box (no need to enter G-), only the 6 numbers. 
• Turn on 2SV and submit.

Each device (Chromebook, Chromebox, phone, PC) will require verification when signing in for the first time. A text will automatically be sent to the phone number submitted. If an account is deleted from a device or the cache is cleared, a code will automatically be sent upon signing in and will be required when the account is added back on.

Returning employees with previous email accounts who have not set up 2SV must call the helpdesk to enroll in 2SV at internal extension 11999 or 812-462-4401 ext 11999.
