Which can for example be generated by a mobile application or via sms to be sent. The mandatory two-factor-authentication occurs, however, is only in force if a suspect loginpoging is detected. The user will then receive a verification code by sms sent that he must retyping.
If users don’t have a phone to have or not to have coverage, they can’t log in. In that case, they should ask an administrator to the login challenge off, according to a page with information that Google has put online. The disabling may be only temporary. It is not known whether or also ‘normal’ Google accounts on the term of the mandatory two-step authentication will be provided.
