How to setup 2- step Verification in youtube account.
2-Step Verification helps prevent a hacker from getting into your account even if they gain access toyour log-in information. You can turn this by going to myaccount.google.com/security.
Once there, click 2-Step Verification, then "Get started." Once you verify your account info you'll be able to set up a device to receive a secure notification. If you'd like to use your phone you'll need to make sure you are signed in to your Google Account.
To send a secure notification to your phone, click "Try it now." Once you tap "Yes" on your device you'll be asked to set up a back-up text or phone call option.
After you confirm this back-up option click "Turn on"to enable 2-Step Verification. It's also important to know who has access to your channel. To stay safe,check your permissions regularly and remove anyone you don't recognize or who shouldn't have access.
A strong and complex password helps prevent hackers from guessing your log-in information. Here are some tips for creating a strong password. Make it more than eight characters long. Use a combination of upper-and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
Avoid using personal information and common words or patterns like "password123" or your birthday. And remember, don't share your password or login with anyone. Hackers can disguise themselves as someone you trust to try and take personal information. YouTube emails only come from youtube.com or google.com email addresses.
Don't reply click on links or open attachments from suspicious emails or messages.
