The traditional verification occurs in two steps.
1.A password used to sign in to your account during login.
2.A random code thus generated will be sent to your phone as a part of authentication.You need to type the code back into the site and complete the registration.
If that serves as a tedious task,technology is always there for you.There is Google Authenticator, an app for iPhone, Android or BlackBerry that will generate a code for you.
That is all old stuff for google.Google had it made it such a way,wherein one has to go through those steps only while logging into a google account on a new web browser/new app/new mobile device in contrast with the usual device used to log in.
