Once you've done this, if you want to make your Gmail account more secure, you can add a two-step verification to your account.
The two-step verification method works by asking you for a password, then sending you a choice between yes and no to your device. After you choose yes, Gmail receives a request for permission to access your account. Then Gmail gets unlocked. You have to do this process every time you login. It is basically an extra layer of security.
To enable, follow the steps below.
1) Click on the Account icon and then click on the manage your google account option.
2) From the Sidebar, select the security option.
3) Click on the 2- Step Verification option.
4) Click on the get started, button then enter your account password.
5) Enter your mobile number and select the option by which you want to get the code; there are two options phone call or code. I recommend the code option.
6) Then you will receive a code or phone call as whatever you have selected, enter the code that you received and click on next.
7) Last but not least, turn on two-step verification.
After doing this, whenever you try to login. Google will ask you to enter a password and send the Yes and No options to your device.
