Google Ads Accounts to be Equipped with New Security Protections

Augusto Beato, CEO at Portland SEO, praised Google for reciprocating the trust users put on Google Ads by making updates to put them in control of security and ensure they stay protected.

"Users are putting their trust to Google Ads with sensitive information, so it is just right that they keep it private and safe," said Beato.

The updates include adding two optional layers of security to Google Ads in the coming weeks. According to Google, 2-step verification requires Google Ads users to sign in to their account with a password and an additional step, like a text message code or security key.

To activate 2-step verification on Google Ads, users will have to click the tool icon in the top right corner of the Google Ads accounts to update the access settings. If the access is through the AdWords API or Google Ads API, users can also update the API access settings.

In addition to this security measure, Google will allow the control account access invitations by email domain.

That means only users with emails registered under a specific domain can be invited to access the Google Ads account.
