[Google Cloud]

2-Step Verification requirement starts May 12, 2025.




MY CONSOLE




Hello Chicago Community Gardeners Association,

We're writing to inform you that starting May 12, 2025, you will be  
required to use multi-factor authentication (MFA), also known as 2-Step  
Verification (2SV), to access Google Cloud console, gcloud CLI, and  
Firebase console. You're receiving this notice because you have access to  
projects on Google Cloud.

We understand this change may require some configuration adjustments and  
have provided additional information below to assist you.

What you need to know

In November 2024, we announced that Google Cloud will be mandating MFA,  
also known as 2-Step Verification (2SV), for all users. This helps protect  
your account by requiring both a password and an additional form of  
verification, such as a phone, security key, or Google Authenticator code,  
when signing in.

Starting May 12, 2025, 2SV will be mandatory to access Google Cloud  
console, gcloud CLI, and Firebase console.

What you need to do

To ensure continued access to Google Cloud console, gcloud CLI, and  
Firebase console, you are required to turn on 2-Step Verification for your  
account from security.google.com.

Exclusions


Apps and workloads that are hosted on Google Cloud, including those that  
use Google APIs


Other services, like Google Photos, YouTube, and Google Workspace  
(including Gmail, Google Sheets, and Google Slides) are not impacted by  
this requirement

We're here to help

For more information please refer to the multi-factor authentication  
requirement documentation If you have questions or need assistance, please  
contact Google Cloud Customer Care.

Thanks for choosing Google Cloud.
