Two-Step Verification for Blair Gmail Accounts

Blair Academy requires Two Factor Verification for student, faculty and staff Gmail accounts.

We require this extra security step because personal information stored online is very valuable to potential hackers. According to Google Support, “Password theft is the most common way accounts are compromised. For example, deceptive messages or lookalike sites often trick people into sharing their passwords. Signing in with both a password and a second step on your phone protects against password-stealing scams. Even if someone gets your password online, they won’t also have your phone.”
