Gooru Tip - Maximize the video player and adjust video quality for optimal viewing!
2-Step Verification is one of our favorite security tools for Google Apps. However, until recently it could only be implemented at the user level. A new Google Apps update allows administrators to enforce 2-Step Verification for their users.
The process isn’t perfect yet, and we still think it could use some work, but this feature is still great for those seeking even more security. Watch the video to learn how to enforce 2-Step Verification!
1. First make sure that all of your users are in enrolled in 2-Step Verification.
- While in the Google Apps control panel, click on the reports tab and select Additional Reports.
- Scroll down to 2-Step Verification Enrollment Report and click Download.
- Make sure all users are enrolled.
2. To enforce 2-Step Verification, click on the Settings tab in the Google Apps control panel.
- Click Security from the bar on the left side of your screen.
- From here you can select your entire organization, or individual org units, to set up the 2-Step Verification.
- Click Turn on enforcement.

We use Google Apps Standard and the entire Security Tab is missing in the control panel… this is my #1 desired feature cause I cannot enforce or controle who has it enabled and who hasn’t….
Oh Gooru with your infinite wisdom, do you have any tips?
I don’t think there’s anything you can do natively in Google Apps except upgrade to Google Apps for Business, which depending on the size of your org. it might make sense to do that.
But there are cheaper ways to achieve two-factor authentication if that’s the only feature you’re looking for.
One solution I’ve heard good things about recently is Okta.
