Google and 2-Factor Verification

Last week I mentioned Google’s “2-Step Verification” and I received emails asking what is it, how does it work, is it the same as MFA, 2FA? Also, for help in setting it up. I rarely give step-by-step instructions on how to make things work but the number of emails I received has encouraged me to…
