How do I secure my Hangouts and Google Account?

Question

I suspect someone has logged into my Hangouts account.  How can I secure my account to eliminate issue with other people getting access?

Answer 1

2-Step Verification helps prevent a hacker from getting into your account, even if they steal your password. To avoid common phishing techniques associated with text message codes, choose a stronger second verification step:

• Security keys (Most secure verification step)
• Google Prompts (More secure than text message codes)

Increased security: Advanced Protection

If you’re a journalist, activist, or someone else at risk of targeted online attacks, consider enrolling in the Advanced Protection Program for a higher level of security. Advanced Protection uses security keys to protect against phishing and includes other protections like blocking unsecure apps.
