Hey you and welcome! My name is Mr. Berry and in this whole video I'm going over having better security
within your Chromebook I'll be going over and showing you how to turn on two-step verification
as well as how to turn on protection so that it you'll be notified if anything
happens such as a data breach or if any strange malicious software comes in through an extension
so let's check this out you and I come on
hey here i am in my Chromebook now what you want to do is you want to load a new tab as you seen
here so you get to google.com and once you're at google.com as you see here it should say google in
the middle and it should have your avatar at the very top now take your mouse and find that avatar
and click it and then click on manage your google account and now it comes up to where it
says google account click on security it should not say security and privacy issues only say
security let's go ahead and click on security now you're in the security page you'll need to scroll
down a little bit until you find that where it says two-step verification it will say off
go ahead and click there to be turning it on now two-step verification
will protect your account and each time you sign in to your google account
you'll need the password and the verification code when you click or log into a new device
it'll add an extra layer of security for you when you're logging into new devices on the
same devices you don't need to do that every time so enter in your password and unique verification
code that's sent to your phone keep the bad guys out even if someone gets your password
it won't be enough to actually sign in to your google account go ahead and click on get started
and once you're doing that then you need to log in to your account to prove that you are you that
you know it really is you and not someone else acting like you just to
turn on two-step verification do other things for you so go ahead and key in your password
and then click on next
all right now this two-step verification page opens up use your phone as your
second step to sign in you now click on continue and it'll have a phone number there if that's
the correct phone number you want to make sure that's correct then you have it sent
as a text message or as a phone call choose the one that you want and then click on send
and now your phone will be receiving this code and it'll be sent to you it's a one-time code you'll
then see that code as either a text message or as a phone call whichever one you decided to go with
and you'll key in that code into that spout after keying in those numbers go ahead and click on next
and then um it will ask you for for reals do you really want to turn on two-step verification
and if you're happy you're going to be using that phone number that phone then go ahead and
review the email address make sure it is the correct email address and the correct devices
and then take your mouse and then click on turn on and that's how you turn on two-step verification
there you go so now you have it and you have a better secured account
hey so in that last segment we learned how to turn on two-step verification
and basically whenever you log into a new device that's when you get the code on the phone
not every time that you log into the same device which is nice and not so annoying all right now
for this next segment we're going to learn how to basically turn on active scanning on your
Chromebook now Chromebooks do not get viruses as such nor do they really get you know malware but
in extensions some extensions can basically try to hijack your system they can do things such as
ease drop on activity they can do things such as look at your keys that you're keying in
which would really compromise your security so what google has done is they've enabled active
protection on your Chromebook to be checking out and making sure none of that actually happens
what we're going to do is we're going to go into your settings on your Chromebook
and make sure that those protections are turned on now there are different levels of protection
and I'll be going over those and how they differ chrome account also looks into your passwords
now if any password is compromised for a particular device then it will also come up
on this list which is kind of nice other things it looks for is it'll look at your email account
or the name of the email account and if that particular address is found in a pasty site a
pasty site basically is a hacker's website where they sell thousands or millions of credentials
at a go and so we call these pasties because basically a hacker broke in and there was a
data breach he stole or she stole addresses and other credentials from a database and then copied
them and then pasted the information onto a pasty site and there at the pasty site would
basically be a long string of email addresses as well as other credentials there may be other
information there as well and if your information ever comes up on one of those pasty sites then
right away you get a notification saying hey something's happened you've been involved
with a data breach some of your information may have been leaked because it's coming up on this
other website this hacker's website so basically it will take you through the steps on how to
secure your account normally all we have to do is change or update your email or not your email
but your password and then you can also turn on two-step verification which we've already done
so let's go in now and check to make sure that you have full protection in your google account
hey here i am in my chromebook again now what we're going to do is take your mouse and go to
the very top there where you see the three dots that's the customize control google chrome menu
go ahead and click on that menu for me and the menu will come down and I'll click on settings
and now we're inside of settings notice we have the search box there in the dark blue click in
there and key in the word clean now as you type in the word you'll see the search results that come
up and one of the search results that does come up that you might notice it says passwords three
compromise passwords on mine that's because i use routers at school and the routers have the factory
default passwords on them and I'm not allowed to change them and so anytime that the password is
the default password such as in within a router it will come up as a compromise password and it will
give you a chance to actually update or change that password now in the case of those routers
we're not allowed to change those passwords because they are the school's router now in
your case let's say that you're at home and you see this well you can give you a chance to go in
there and then change or update those passwords on um on your accounts and that's highly recommended
that you change the password from something that it came with so it's not the default password
next we'll click on security now we're inside of security notice we have what says safe browsing
enhanced protection faster proactive protection against dangerous websites downloads and
extensions it warns you about password breaches and requires browsing data to be sent to google
and this is the very first option there next predicts and warns you about dangerous events
before they happen keeps you safe on chrome and may be used to improve your security and other
google apps when you are signed in improve security for you and everyone on the web
it warns you if passwords are exposed within a data breach this is awesome next it sends the urls
to safe browsing to check them and it also sends a small sample of pages downloads and
extensions activity and system information to help discover new threats temporary links this
data to your google account when you are signed in to protect you across your google apps so this
very first one there that's the enhanced protection and it will actually warn you
before things happen the next one we have there is standard protection standard protection
against websites downloads and extensions that are known to be dangerous this detects and warns you
about dangerous events when they happen checks urls with a list of unsafe sites stored in chrome
if a site tries to steal your password or when you download a harmful file chrome maybe also
send urls including bits of page content to safe browsing and so that's the basically the next one
down there now we have other options such as help improve security on the web for everyone
that could be either on or off and it's best to have that on so that you're helping others there
so all you have to do is click it to turn that on if you want to
the next option that we have there is it warns you if passwords are exposed in a data breach
chrome periodically checks your passwords against a list that have been published
online when doing this your passwords and usernames are encrypted so they can't be
seen by anyone including google chrome and always have that option turned on as you see it on mine
and that's for the best protection there and the last option there it says no protection you always
want that off because you always want to have some protection under advanced it says use secure dns
we won't really get into the details for this episode but you always want that
on of course and that encrypts all of your data and has a secure connection for you
so now you know how to keep your google chrome account safe within your Chromebook
there's all the options for you and you have the enhanced protection or the standard protection as
the two options there that are recommended there as well as the other things we've talked about
both the enhanced and the standard protection scan your chromebook for malware and viruses in the
extensions apps and downloaded files so they both serve to protect your account as well as the files
that you have on your Chromebook hey so now you know how to turn on two-step verification which is
really good for keeping your account secure and you know how to turn on protection within your
