2-Step Verification (2FA) stops anyone signing in with just your password. Backup codes are one-time codes that get you in if your phone isn't available — saving them prevents lockouts. 1) Go to myaccount.google.com/security and sign in. 2) Under "How you sign in to Google", open "2-Step Verification" and follow the steps (add your phone for prompts, or an Authenticator app). 3) Back in 2-Step Verification, open "Backup codes", generate them, and Download or print the 10 codes. Store them somewhere safe (a password manager, or a note you keep private) — NOT in your email. 4) Test by signing in on another device. If you're ever locked out, raise a ticket and IT can help.
