2-Step Verification requirement starts May 12, 2025.
MY CONSOLE
Hello Frauengasse Baden,
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.
