Google Authenticator and Security Questions

  • Click your username
  • Select Account Settings
  • Select Security and Privacy
  • Re enter your password to access this section

  • From this section you can enable Google Authenticator, Security Questions, and set your online status to hidden.
  • Set up your answers or Google Authenticator and always look for the save button when changing settings.

As for answers to security questions, we recommend out of the box thinking on answers. That way you can't accidently divulge an answer to someone when asked a seemingly harmless question. You may be asked a lot of questions when getting to know someone so don't use real answers for your security questions.

Example: Least favorite topping for pizza. Suggested out of the box answers dirt, someone's fingernail, live snails. You get the idea. 

Favorite movie. Out of the box answers, the one with the fish that is bilingual. You may tell someone you love Nemo in conversation but I am willing to bet you never described it that way so its a decent security answer.

Extra safety note:

Log out of your account every time you leave. Actually click log out and don't use auto save passwords. This keeps someone else from picking up your device and accessing your account. You are responsible for anything they do if that happens.
