Using a strong password is a good way to protect your YouTube channel and Google account, but it’s often not enough. The best way to secure your YouTube and Google account from hackers is to use Google’s 2-Step Verification, which utilizes something you know (your password) and something you have (your phone). To login to your account, you’ll need to enter both your password and a temporary code that Google sends you via text message or voice call on the phone. I highly recommend you enable 2-Step Verification for your Google account. Here’s a step-by-step tutorial on how to enable and setup 2-Step Verification on your Google account and YouTube channel.
