Google has an interesting programme designed to protect users who face significant risk of having their accounts hacked – such as journalists, activists, election and campaign officials, victims of intimate partner violence, and others seeking additional security. It’s called the Advanced Protection Program. It’s designed to ensure that no one but you can access your Google tools like Gmail, Google Drive and YouTube. Of course, locking down an account so carefully means sacrificing convenience—but Google says its worth it for some users.
