Google Cloud console needs 2-Step Verification from October 20, 2026
Some company accounts must turn on 2-Step Verification. Without it, they cannot open the Google Cloud and Firebase consoles. This hits accounts that sign in with a password, not single sign-on. Admins can get one 90-day extension.
Tick steps as you go. Your progress stays in this browser.
List the Cloud and Firebase users who do not use single sign-on. Admins can see who meets the rule in Logs Explorer.
Workspace and Cloud Identity admins can roll out 2SV for their users. Google Cloud accepts it.
