About

Google 2-Step adds Two-Factor Authentication for an extra layer of security for your JCU Google account. When you turn on Google 2-Step, you will be required to log in with both your password and then an additional security measure, such as a code delivered via text, voice call or mobile app; USB security key; printed backup code; or a push (or pop-up) notification on your smartphone.

Department Google Accounts

To setup 2FA on your department Google account, the first step in using a delegated mailbox is to set one person up as the administrator for the account. Click here to learn how to delegate mailbox in Gmail.
