Before proceeding, it is essential to coordinate with your admin team and request the temporary disabling of the Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) policy for your account through the Google Admin Portal. Once the admin team has successfully disabled the 2FA policy and provided confirmation, you will be able to log in to your Google account without encountering any authentication challenges. Ensure you follow the organization’s protocols and guidelines during this process to maintain the security and integrity of your account. Follow the below-mentioned steps to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to your Google Account.
