To log in to Google Apps @ NC state, you will now have to enter your username and password on two separate sign-in screens. Google implemented the new authentication process to create a consistent log-in experience for all of its products and to reduce confusion for users with multiple accounts.
You may also encounter Google’s new Login Challenge for suspicious sign-ins that asks you to enter personal information (e.g., a code, telephone number, location) to verify your identity. To prevent access issues, keep your profile up-to-date in My Account, Google’s new consolidated security hub. Please be advised that the Login Challenge is not Google’s 2-Step Verification. If you enable 2-Step, you will NOT be presented with the Login Challenge screen.
