Everyone of us has a Google account. Usually we sign it by entering username, then password. But, it is now changing !
Now, many users will get a code in their phone after entering their password, and they have to enter that code for logging in to Google Account on any device.

This is called 2-Step Verification

If you have got any E-Mail from Google regarding the same, your account has enabled 2-Step Verification.

But remember - only some accounts CURRENTLY got this change, not all. Soon, all will get it.

So, keep your phone nearby, when logging in to Google Account any time

And update your phone number to a number that can get SMS properly.

This 2 step verification has been there since atleast 2 years. It's not mandatory to turn that on. You can use it or not use it. But, using it is recommended for better security.
