I was already doing all this but it never hurts to revisit things just to stay current on security. Great video -- short, concise, clear and good visual examples provided. No fluff, no crap, just solid information that everyone should know. Just one thing ... follow Matthew Kutoloski's advice on your mic. Some people watch YT videos on their phones, some of us use much more complicated equipment. I'm one of the latter.

Hey bud great video, thank you for the tips. I'll give you a tip in return. The mic you are using is meant to have the audio come in the front, not the top. So you would want to flip the mic up and speak into the front of the mic. Just make sure you are speaking into the front and not the back. Your audio will improve GREATLY if you do that. I'm a professional audio engineer so recording and mixing is my profession! Anyway, just a friendly tip. Thanks again for the video!

1/21/2024 It looked like Google does not offer 2FA via an authenticator app as it only showed [text message, security key, other device prompt] as choices, but after setting "other device prompt" it let me do text message as a secondary backup and then gave authenticator app (they wanted it to be their own but Authy worked) as another secondary verification. Don't know why they don't give it as one of the initial choices.

Good video, except for the fact that if you setup a 2FA and ask Google to send a text to your registered phone # and that you happen to be traveling abroad, then you're screwed since you won't be able to access your email till you verify your account and b/c you'll be overseas yo won't be able to get that txt msg!

I have the same question - and I liked and subscribed. It sounds like that if you enroll in the Google Advanced Protection Program that you *must* use the YubiKey (or other physical key), which seems like it eliminates the other ways to access the account. Josh, is that correct? If so and one doesn't want to enroll in GAPP, would it make sense to remove one or more of those alternative backups? I'm thinking that makes sense - to delete the SMS and maybe even authenticator app options, and then keep the backup codes in a safe place.

After losing access to my gmail account in 2018, I knew I had to move to 2FA. I tried sending a physical letter to Google telling them what happened (and that the automated system refused to recognize me for some reason), but never received a reply from them. I lost 13 YEARS worth of email, and unfortunately, a link to someone close to me. (This also made me realize I need a minimum of TWO ways to contact people I care about, and not just via email.) Tough way to be forced into using 2FA, but now it seems every service is using it anyway.
