To enhance security at LBCC, we have enabled 2-step verification for LBCC Google accounts.
Just as with Duo MFA, we recommend using a mobile phone to authenticate your Google
account.
*** IMPORTANT***:
If you do not complete your enrollment within 48 hours you will be locked out. If this
occurs, please contact the Staff Help Desk at staff.helpdesk@linnbenton.edu.
With 2-Step Verification, also known as two-factor authentication, you can add an additional
layer of security to your account in case your password is compromised or stolen. Once you've
set up 2-Step Verification, you can sign in to your account using:
1. Your password
2. Your phone
STEP 1

STEP 2
Verify It’s You with a Second Step:
After you turn on 2-Step Verification, you must complete a second step to verify it’s you when
you sign in. To help protect your account, Google will ask that you complete a specific second
step.
Google prompts are push notifications you’ll receive on:
● Android phones that are signed in to your Google Account.
● iPhones that are signed in to your Google Account with the Smart Lock app, the Gmail
app, the Google Photos app, the YouTube app, or Google app.
Based on the device and location info in the notification, you can:
● Allow the sign-in if you requested it by tapping Yes.
● Block the sign-in if you didn’t request it by tapping No.
Use Other Verification Methods:
You can set up other verification methods in case you:
● You want to increase protection against phishing
● Can’t get Google prompts
● Lose your phone
Other methods Include:
● Security keys
● Google Authenticator or other verification apps
● Text Message or call
