If you receive an error stating "Your sign-in settings don't meet your organisation's 2-Step Verification policy" after logging into your UAH Google account, this means that your window for setting up Google 2-Step Verification has already closed. In this case, you'll need to contact the OIT Help Desk to receive a bypass code.
