Protect your account with 2-Step Verification

With 2-Step Verification (also known as two-factor authentication), you add an extra layer of security to your account in case your password is stolen. After you set up 2-Step Verification, you’ll sign in to your account in two steps using:

  • Something you know, like your password
  • Something you have, like your phone

Turn on 2-Step Verification

  1. Open two-step enrollment verification.
  2. In the lower right, select Get Started.
  3. Sign in with your Doane email address.
  4. Follow the on-screen steps.

Your account, [email protected], is associated with your work or school. If you can’t set up 2-Step Verification, contact the Service Center.

Verify it’s you with a second step

After you turn on 2-Step Verification, you’ll need to complete a second step to verify it’s you when you sign in. To help protect your account, Google will request that you complete a specific second step.
