How to Enable Google Two-Factor Authentication

Please note: Elon University Information Technology does not provide support for this feature beyond what is listed below.

Features:

• Allows for use of second authentication method during login to Google services
• Provides enhanced security
• Enabling two-factor authentication is completely optional to our Elon Google users

When logging into Google services via Elon’s login page (email.elon.edu) you will NOT be prompted for the second-factor. Google’s two-factor method will ONLY prompt when logging in to your Elon Google account in one of the following:

• a downloaded Google App (i.e. Gmail for iPhone/iPad)
• Android device (i.e. Configuring a cell phone that runs Android OS – Samsung, Google Pixel, HTC, etc)
• other Google devices (i.e. PixelBook, ChromeBook)
