Google has got one of the most strongest network, and even though we do hear of series of attacks on their servers, i have never seen them shut down for a day in a long time.Though they once shut down because of a code error, not hacks. No matter how strong Google servers are, it wont protect you from loosing your password if you are careless with them, Its like saying "Jesus is my Savior, and you decided to sleep on a railway line...well that fine" Just please toss out your computer and your ATM, please include the pin too...Thank You...So no matter how secure their servers are, they can only provide us with tools to be safe,and the rest is with each individual. One of the tools provided is the 2-ways verification.

If you have been following this blog in a long time, you noticed we once wrote how to protect your drop box with 2 ways verification. I received a lot of likes on that on FB and its comments are fine too. So i came across 2-ways verification when i suspected some missing mails in my inbox. (Once in a while, its good to check your recent activity) .Checking your recent activity will display IP addresses of where you accessed your account and other information. So i got information my account was accessed from a location i have not been to in years and i was surprised..so i decided to lock it up with 2 ways.

2-step verification allows Google to send you a code number to your phone if someone somewhere is accessing your account from a computer of device you don't never used or its suspecting a foul play.

The first time you sign up for 2 ways, it ask if you trust your current device/computer, you say Yes...and that's all..Any other device that needs login will need to have a code that will be sent to the mobile phone you provided..Its 6 random numbers for every login. Note : You wont receive alert message on that computer you already trusted...

1. Go to the sign-in page and enter your username and password like you normally do.

2. Then you’ll be asked for a six-digit code, which you'll get from your phone. If you want, when you enter your code, you can choose to trust your computer -- this means you won't be asked for a code again when you sign in from this computer. If you sign in from another computer, however, you’ll be asked for a code.

3.   After you turn on 2-step verification, non-browser applications and devices that use your Google Account (such as the Gmail app on your phone or Outlook), will be unable to connect to your account. However, in a few steps, you can generate a special password called application-specific password to allow this application to connect to your account -- and don't worry, you'll only have to do this once for each device or application.

HOW TO SET UP 2 STEP VERIFICATION

 

1. Sign in to your Google Account settings page by clicking on your name or picture in the upper right corner of the screen and then clicking Account.
   

2 . On the left tab, click Security and then Edit under "2-Step verification." This will bring you to the 2-step verification settings page.

3. You will then see a step-by-step guide which will help you through the setup process.

4.Once you’re done, you’ll be taken to the 2-step verification settings page again. Be sure to review your settings and add backup phone numbers.

5. You’re done! Next time you sign in, you’ll receive an SMS with a verification code

Do you have friends and families in these two different countries you like to call and ask about their welfares. You really want to talk with them on mobile for hours but you scared of the call rates...I am going to show you a very simple and the easiest way to call them for free, and you will talk for hours until you both tired of talking.. This will definitely work anywhere in the world so you just need to follow my basic steps...Legoooo

What you needLaughing

A Gmail account, if you have an existing Gmail account...then you can use it...if you don't have a gmail account, Click--> Gmail

A computer(Laptop or desktop), iPad or iPhone or your smart phone. (If you like to use your phone like i prefer to do, read to the last paragraph)

A Headset...(you don't need to worry if your computer already had a MIC and speaker embedded)

A VPN..(USA IP)...Read On, Dont be scared cool

Thanks to the Gmail team for giving users the opportunity to call USA/Canada numbers free without charges. However most people are not enjoying this package as a Gmail User..But i will tell you how to do this and enjoy free calls 24/7.

How to go about it....

You need to have a GMAIL ACCOUNT or register now at gmail.com.. I believe you reading this on your PC/MAC,which means you definitely have a computer...while you're doing this, take 2 minute to download a software called...Hotspotshield..(Click this link to download the latest HotspotShield) You can download the free version, its a USA address automatically.

Please note: you can use any VPN software of your choice as we have hundreds of them, but i prefer this VPN software....Just make sure you can use the USA IP Address if you outside the USA...

I have a VPN, But how do i know i am on a USA IP?Frown

Its pretty simple, Click on this website Ip2location.com. The website will help display the country, IP address, region and city and a whole lot of things about your location, so if you see the United state, this is all that matters, regions or city doesn't matter.

 

 You can see the IP address and country display in the picture above

Log on to your gmail account and at the left below your account, you see a chat box listing names of your online friends and you will see a call phone.....Check the picture below

Click on call a phone...you will see a phone-like dial pad appear right on your GMAIL, use the button or the Number pad on your keyboard to dial the mobile number you want to call....and wait till it rings at the other side...Bingooooooooooo

PS: You can also buy credit from google if you want to call other countries for a cheap rate, but for USA and Canada be my guest...Also if you use GTALK...You can also use this too instead of from your inbox interface..

To Send free Messages

To send a free message, Gmail will want you to save the mobile number, so just save it up like its your mobile phone, RIGHT-CLICK the saved number...and you will see the option of sending a message, click and send your message..

Note: Gmail gives you 50 credit, and it deducts 2 credits on text, but if your reciepient replied your sent text, Google will return 5credit back to your Unit...yummy...But you can't get more than 50...so if you getting low on credit, beg them to reply....or beg me...so i can give you..i have enough...hahahahahah

Mobile Users : You can download VPN that suits your device, their are different VPN applications for mobile devices like your Nokia, iPhone/iPad and also for the Android devices..Hotspot also works on mobile, but you should download the mobile version or other versions that works for you....

I will be happy to answers questions if you confused anywhere on this simple write-up.. Just put down your comments below....
