What does signing into Google do?
Your Google Account makes every service you use personalized to you. Just sign into your account to access your preferences, privacy and personalization controls from any device. You're never more than a tap away from your data and settings.
Is it secure to use Google?
Your content is stored securely
Data is encrypted in-transit and at-rest. If you choose to access these files offline, we store this info on your device. Your Google Account comes with built-in security designed to detect and block threats like spam, phishing and malware.
Is signing into Chrome safe?
Keep your data safe
A copy of your data is stored on the computer you are using when you sign in, and other people who use the same computer can see it. To keep your information secure, synced data is encrypted when it travels between your computer and Google's servers.
Is Google Account safe from hackers?
Two-step verification makes sure that even if a hacker guesses your password, then your account will still be safe. Every time you log in from a new device, you will get a code or notification from Google that you will have to enter or approve in order for the sign in to be successful.
