I have read that I should turn on "two-step" authentication for my Gmail account to keep it safe from getting hacked. What is this and what do I do?
Google's two-step verification (authentication) for Gmail users requires both your account password and a numeric code from Google sent to your mobile phone in order to log in. When you sign up for the extra verification step, you can choose to have the mobile code required each time you log in to your account, or just each time you log in from a new computer or device.
So even if someone swipes your Gmail password and tries to log into your account from his or her computer, the required verification code is still sent to your phone, which you hopefully still have in your possession. You can set up two-step verification in the security area of on your Gmail account settings page. Google has setup instructions on its site.
