Troubleshooting "Your sign-in settings don't meet your organization's 2-Step Verification policy" Error

1. Enable 2-Step Verification:

• Click on "2-Step Verification."

• Follow the instructions to choose a verification method:

  • Authenticator app: (e.g., Google Authenticator, Authy) - Generates codes on your phone.

  • Text message (SMS): Google sends a code to your phone.

  • Backup codes: Print or save these codes for use if you lose access to your phone.

1. Complete Setup:

• Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the setup process for your chosen method.

Troubleshooting Tips:

• Clear Cache/Cookies: If you encounter issues, clear your browser's cache and cookies, then try again.

• Incognito Mode: Try setting up 2SV in incognito mode.

• Different Browser: If problems persist, try using a different browser.

Important:

• Backup Codes: Be sure to generate and save backup codes in a safe place. These are essential if you lose access to your phone or primary 2SV method.
