JAKARTA Two-step Verification (2FA) is a layer of security that is often used to strengthen access to Gmail accounts. However, under certain circumstances, 2FA may not be needed and needs to be deactivated.

For example, when your main verification method is compromised, you need to take quick steps such as disabling 2FA. This will help you access accounts quickly to take emergency security measures.

Deactivating 2FA support on devices can be done easily, either through Android and iOS-based smartphones or via computer. Here's how to disable 2FA on your Gmail account, according to Android Police.

Deactivating 2FA Gmail Via Mobile

To disable 2FA in the Gmail app for mobile devices, you need to access Google account security settings. These settings can be accessed either through the Google app or the Gmail app.

Deactivating 2FA Gmail Via Computer

Deactivating two-step verification on your Google account that is connected to your computer is not much different from the steps on your phone. You only need your favorite web browser, then do the following stages.

Once the authentication of two factors is disabled, you only need email and password to log in to Gmail on any device. You will no longer receive additional verification commands on devices that are not in use.
