Why everyone should adopt dual authentication for their Google account


Two-step validation is extremely easy to activate in your Google Account. — AFP Relaxnews

Google has just indicated that double authentication will soon be activated by default for everyone. It now represents the easiest way to avoid having your account hacked, even when your password has been leaked. Google wants to highlight this essential security feature, which is too seldom used.
