so if anyone gets confused about this while they're setting up their Android
tablet now as you guys know one of or all a couple of my Google accounts were
recently hijacked and this is because I was not using two-step verification so
two-step verification allows you whenever you're signing in from any new
device into your Google account to have it prompt you by sending you an SMS code
so you can actually see this SMS code if you want this isn't the right one but
see so it'll send you a little text message that looks just like that so I'm
setting up a few different tablets actually here you can just pan over there have a look at some of the tablets
that I'm working on so I'm setting all of these up so that I can do some comparative testing which means I got to
sign into my Google accounts took me about 15 minutes to get signed into the
first one because here's what I did I entered my email address I entered my
password I clicked sign in and I go oh Google account sign in failure and this
is the the problem is the error it gives you the error it gives you is wrong your
username and passwords do not match please try again okay so I entered it
again I was like oh maybe I forget my password so I went over to the computer I tried signing in there oh it works so
what's going on here so here's what you have to do if you're if you are signing
up on a new tablet with your Google account is you go up into the top corner
here go to browser signin and sign in using the browser so
this one will work properly and then it'll send you your verification SMS and
there will be no problem so there's a little Tech tip for you and now I'm
going to get on with my tablet testing thanks for checking it out don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech tips from
