so if anyone gets confused about this while they're setting up their Android

00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:18.000
tablet now as you guys know one of or all a couple of my Google accounts were

00:00:15.559 --> 00:00:22.199
recently hijacked and this is because I was not using two-step verification so

00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:26.960
two-step verification allows you whenever you're signing in from any new

00:00:24.439 --> 00:00:31.640
device into your Google account to have it prompt you by sending you an SMS code

00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:34.520
so you can actually see this SMS code if you want this isn't the right one but

00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:38.840
see so it'll send you a little text message that looks just like that so I'm

00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:43.160
setting up a few different tablets actually here you can just pan over there have a look at some of the tablets

00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:47.480
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

00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:51.440
sign into my Google accounts took me about 15 minutes to get signed into the

00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:55.760
first one because here's what I did I entered my email address I entered my

00:00:53.239 --> 00:00:59.039
password I clicked sign in and I go oh Google account sign in failure and this

00:00:57.239 --> 00:01:02.760
is the the problem is the error it gives you the error it gives you is wrong your

00:01:00.680 --> 00:01:07.159
username and passwords do not match please try again okay so I entered it

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:12.280
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

00:01:10.520 --> 00:01:16.560
what's going on here so here's what you have to do if you're if you are signing

00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:22.000
up on a new tablet with your Google account is you go up into the top corner

00:01:19.119 --> 00:01:27.240
here go to browser signin and sign in using the browser so

00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:31.280
this one will work properly and then it'll send you your verification SMS and

00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:35.360
there will be no problem so there's a little Tech tip for you and now I'm

00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:39.240
