What is a google voice verification code?

A Google Voice verification code is a security measure used by Google to confirm your identity and prevent unauthorized access to your Google Voice account. It's a temporary, randomly generated code sent to your linked phone number (the one you use to set up Google Voice) when you attempt to perform certain actions, such as:

• Signing in to your Google Voice account on a new device or browser. This helps ensure that it's really you trying to access your account.
• Setting up call forwarding. Google verifies you control the forwarding number.
• Making changes to your account settings.

The code is usually a 6-digit number and is typically sent via SMS text message. It's important to enter the code correctly and promptly, as it usually expires after a short period (e.g., a few minutes).

Important points:

• Do not share your verification code with anyone. Google will never ask for your verification code in an email, phone call, or text message. Sharing it could compromise your account security.
• If you didn't request a verification code, it's possible someone is trying to access your account. Change your Google account password immediately and review your security settings.
• If you are having trouble receiving the code, make sure your phone number is correctly associated with your Google account, and that your phone can receive SMS messages. Check your spam folder.
• The verification code is specifically for Google Voice, and is separate from any two-factor authentication methods that may be enabled on your main Google account.
