Part of the Authentication
glossary:
Two-step verification
is a process that involves two authentication methods performed one after the
other to verify that someone or something requesting access is who or what they
are declared to be.
The difference between two-step
verification and two-factor authentication:
Two-step verification is sometimes confused with two-factor authentication (2FA), which also involves two usually sequential methods used for verification. However, in contrast with 2FA processes, the methods in two-step verification can belong to the same category of authentication factors, and the methods used for 2FA aren't necessarily sequential.

Furthermore, verification and authentication
are not completely synonymous. Verification can be part of a real-world process
-- providing a driver's license as proof of identity, for example.
Authentication is considered an adaptation of verification processes designed
to protect automated and online systems.
