2-Step Verification/Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Setup

All Meadowbrook Google accounts require Multi-Factor Authentication for security purposes. For this process & logging in to your account, you will need your phone. You will also get a series of backup codes incase you do not have your phone when logging in in the future.

Setting Up MFA

After logging into your Meadowbrook account for the first time, accept Google's Terms of Service.
You will be prompted to enroll in 2-Step Verification. Click "Enroll".

If you click "Do this later" or did not get this prompt: In your Google Account (myaccount.google.com), click "Security". Then, under "How you sign in to Google", click "2-Step Verification".
On the next screen, click "Turn on 2-Step Verification". Then, add your phone number. By default, you will receive codes by text message; feel free to change to voice message if you prefer. Then, click "Next".
Google will send you a verification code. Type it into the text box, then click "Verify".
You are all set with MFA! Click "Done" to finish.

Enabling Backup Codes

It's important to have a backup in case our phone is not with us. Google has an option to use a backup code for MFA in these circumstances. Let's enable it for our account.

In your Google Account (myaccount.google.com), click "Security". Then, under "How you sign in to Google", click "2-Step Verification".
Under "Second Steps", click on the option for "Backup codes".
Click "Get backup codes". Please secure the 10 backup codes in a secure location. They should not be stored somewhere that requires your Meadowbrook account login to access, eg your work computer.
