Google offers 2-step verification as an extra security measure to log into your account. However, there are times when you may need to log into your account without 2FA verification.

If you forget your account password or can't receive the verification codes, you may lose it forever. To avoid such situations, we compiled a list of solutions to help you recover your Google account.

The Google Voice verification scam is a known scam, according to the Federal Trade Commission, but it's not as widely known by the general public.

If your bank account is protected by SMS-based 2FA, for instance, they'll receive the code on their own device, authenticate themselves, and break into your account.

Google will attempt to text, email, or call you with a verification code to confirm that it's your account. Follow the steps to reset your password and access your account.

Federal investigators say fraudsters are finding contact information online to launch Google verification code scams. News5 uncovers how it works and why you should never share a verification code.

Now, Google is planning to phase out SMS-based verification completely for Gmail (and with it, Google account) authentication.

First, go to your regular sign-in page and under the password field, hit “try another way”. If you have a phone number associated with the account, Google will send you a verification code.

The police department said after the Google Voice set up is complete, further scams can be committed. The PSLPD advised to never give out your Google verification code.
