Google has made it possible for you to password protect your search history within your cloud account.
Did you know anyone could walk up to your computer and view your Google search history? Anything you have searched for in Google is visible.
You will then be prompted for your Google account password to complete the process.
Figure C. To view the history, click Verify and you'll be prompted for your Google password, even if you're already logged in to your account.
If you've enabled 2FA for your Google account, no one is going to be able to log in to your Google account from another computer.
The moral of this story? Enable the extra verification for your Google search history and enable 2FA for your Google account.
