Google is tightening its account security measures, requiring nearly all Gmail users to make key updates to their accounts.

The update will require users to activate 2 -Step Verification, which includes their password and a second step such as a smartphone notification, verification app or security key.

Google has begun sending users account-specific warning emails and login prompts directing them to take action.
