2 stage verification with Google

[Rekusu]

What ho one and all,

I take photos for our local parish council and upload them to a Google Photos site for a few people (newsletter editor) to access. Only a few people have the log-in details because once onto the site, anyone is able to amend and/or delete the photos, which is obviously, a no-no!

The magazine editor set it up and it is her phone number that is the registered recovery,

Having just received a message from her asking if I was denied access to the account, I checked and it was not me. But I did find a Nov 19 message from Google that they are implementing 2 stage verification, so I followed the links and 'may be(?) it has been set up via a text.

But the next page showed her phone number. Presumably therefore, if I want to access the photo account to upload photos, the 2 stage verification will send the text to the editor's phone rather than mine?

As Google do have my phone number, but I access the account via my computer, I am uncertain if I have not locked myself out or not.

Does anyone have any advice.

Thanks and toodle pip

If the 2-factor verification is set up and is set to use text messaging, it will go to the associated phone number.

There is a way to get it to work for multiple users. See the link below. You may need the current owner to set it up if you cannot get in.

Thanks for the link, useful. Will see if we can get it set up.
