Security has become a key factor for mobile computing. Jack Wallen shows how you can secure your Google account with the help of an Android app called Google Authenticator.

Security has become issue number one for many companies, people, services, and devices. With more people hopping over to the cloud, having tight security could mean the difference between your data being secure and your data being stolen. This has become especially true with the massive use of mobile devices to connect to those accounts.

Your Google account is no exemption. If you have a simple password, that account will most likely get hacked. If you have a complex password, the possibility decreases. With 2-step verification, the likelihood of your account getting hacked is even further reduced (drastically even).

Windows Phone users have to remain using SMS for their codes, but that's okay because the Google Authenticator app on iOS7 is buggy. :rolleyes:
