Set Up Two-Step Verification
Your admin may require multifactor authentication (MFA), also known as “two-step verification”, for your account. If you set up two-step verification in the past and are prompted to set it up again, your admin may have reset it for the account.
The steps vary if you have set up two-step verification before.
