I'm trying to login to a new Chromebook How to do 2-step Verification

TodConover

I'm trying to login to a new Chromebook. The 2-Step verification page gives instructions that make no sense. The instructions are as follows 1 -Get your Google Chromebook. 2 - O pen the Settings app. 3- Tap Google. 4- Choose your account, if not already selected. 5 - Tap Manage your Google Account. 6 - Select the security table. 7 - Under "Soigning in to Gopogle" tap Security code. 8 - Choose an account to get your code. I'm on my Chromebook and there is no way to get to Settings. Even if I did there is no such option "Google". WTF is going on.

You need to use your phone with the number registered in your Google account, you will get a SMS text message with the code that you then type in the box on your screen. If you have an alternative e-mail account registered in your Google account you need to open that e-mail account on another PC and open the e-mail from Google that will have the code.

I don't understand. "Use my phone?" How? Do I yell at it? The instructions make no sense relative to a phone.

Turns out, the answer is I must scroll down on the page with all the useless instructions and click on "Try another way." Then I get to a page where I can do a normal 2-step verification. The "Try another way" option is at the bottom of the page and not immediately visible. Additionally there are no scroll bars displayed so it is not obvious.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Make sure you phone is turned on and is registered in your google account, the first thing you enter in your Google account profile is your e-mail address, alternative e-mail address and phone number to receive codes to verify your password.
