On the occasion of 12th Safer Internet Day, celebrated worldwide on 10 February 2015, Google is offering free additional 2GB data storage to the users who will complete their Google account security checkup. This offer is till 17 Feb 2015. Even without any such offers it should be your regular habit to keep checking these security settings to keep your account safe (specially the app permissions).
The security checkup has following step :
- Go to Security checkup page
- Recovery information – Confirm Recovery phone, Recovery email, Security question
- Recent activity – review your recent account activity
- Account permissions – review the apps, websites and devices connected to your Google Account. Make sure that you recognise, use and trust them all, or remove the ones you don’t
- App passwords – passwords for apps that don’t use 2-Step Verification. Verify those apps
- 2-Step Verification settings – Verify the default phone number, backup phone number, and Backup codes
After you’ve gone through the checkup successfully, you’ll see three green checkboxes (see below) that confirm you’re eligible for the free storage and, more importantly, that you’ve taken steps to enhance your online safety. We’ll be granting the storage automatically to everyone around 28 February 2015 and we’ll send you an email when your adjustment is complete.
